my environment requires applications to be launched with administrator privileges. Both SteamVR and VRChat are configured to always run as administrator.

after the recent update(2025.05.09 -> 2025.08.17), attempting to launch VRCX with administrator privileges results in the following error message:

Launching without administrator privileges allows VRCX to start normally. However, due to the privilege mismatch, VRChat becomes unresponsive when both applications are running.
