Steps to reproduce

PowerToysReport_2023-09-04-14-26-03.zip
Attached is the bug report from PowerToys. I am unable to open settings and can only access a couple of the features of PowerToys such as Power Rename and some of the hotkey actions with Mouse Utilities. I am unable to open the updater and I cannot uninstall due to the admin permissions on my computer. I have also discovered that I am unable to change any files in the C drive install location without admin permissions.

✔️ Expected Behavior

PowerToys settings to open.

❌ Actual Behavior

It does not open or give me an error.

Other Software

No response

Hi, PowerToys Settings needs to be able to at least write to your local user folder, which is "%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys" Are you able to ask the system administrator to uninstall the current installation? A User installer might work better for you under your current scenario. /needinfo

Thanks for the reply, I've managed to get temporary admin access and I'm uninstalling, will be having a crack at A user install and seeing if that helps me.
