I've noticed that my PowerShell window has different appearance settings depending on whether I launch it normally, via a shortcut, or as an administrator. Can anyone explain why this happens? Do different launch methods use different profiles or settings?

When you open PowerShell as an administrator, it typically uses a profile that's separate from your standard user account. This means any customizations you've made in your regular profile might not be visible in the admin profile since they're treated as different accounts.
I just found out that running as admin doesn't make much of a difference for me either. How can I check which profile is actually being used? I tried `$profile` but it's showing the same path across the board.
