I'm trying to run PowerShell without needing admin privileges, but it keeps forcing me into admin mode. Technically, it's my PC, and I believe I have admin credentials. Can someone help me understand what might be causing this and how I can use PowerShell normally?

You might also want to consider what you mean by 'technically' owning the PC. If it's your personal device, you should have full access, but some installations do require admin privileges to work properly. If you're having issues, details on what you're trying to do would help us help you.
To run PowerShell without admin privileges, can you clarify what you're trying to achieve? If you're installing software like Spicetify, that might require admin rights. But if it’s just a regular task, there may be ways to run specific commands without needing elevated permissions.
It sounds like your User Account Control (UAC) might be disabled, causing PowerShell to launch in admin mode automatically. You should check your UAC settings to see if that's the case. You can find guides online to enable or disable UAC, which might resolve your issue!
