qbittorrent only launches when I run as administrator
And I feel like it's insecure, tried updating but it's already on the latest version

Re: qbittorrent only launches when I run as administrator
To install qBittorrent in a standard user account:
1. Create a qBittorrent folder in "C:\Users\<standard user>\AppData\Roaming"
2. Instead of running the qBittorrent installer, you extract all the files from the installer with 7-Zip to "C:\Users\<standard user>\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent"
3. To make things nice and clean you create a shortcut to "C:\Users\<standard user>\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.exe" on your desktop or wherever you like.
4. You need to add exceptions for qBittorrent.exe to the Windows firewall and you can then run your new torrent client.
5. When there are updates to qBittorrent, always download the new version then exit qBittorrent and follow step 2 from above with the new installer.
