I'm trying to run PowerShell without administrative rights to download and use Spicetify, but I'm having some trouble. I heard that I can open CMD and use the command 'runas /trustlevel:0x20000 powershell' to launch it, but even when I try running PowerShell normally, it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone faced a similar issue or have any tips on running PowerShell without admin rights?

You can actually use PowerShell without needing administrative privileges most of the time. The command you're referencing drops you to a lower privilege when you're already running as admin, which is generally a bad practice for security. It's a good idea to just run PowerShell as a normal user where possible.
I only use PowerShell for updating Spicetify, so I thought I needed admin for that. Guess I need to reconsider!
