Hello, all the PCs in our company are installed with Windows Professional Edition, both Windows 10 and Windows 11, and the users all have "User" level permissions. The issue we are encountering is that when logged in as a user, attempting to install software using "Run as Administrator" or "Run as Different User" results in the software not being installed in the user directory. As shown in the image I uploaded, the username is "zhujj", but the software defaults to displaying the administrator "kssadmin". If the installation continues, the files used by the software will be saved in the administrator's directory. Additionally, if Office files are opened directly from WeChat, it is unable to recognize the activation information for the current user.

I have tried reinstalling Windows on a new computer without joining it to a domain, purely for testing purposes, but the issue persists. Could you please help explain why this happens? Thank you.bug1
