Why Administrator account runs games much worse than default AR
Hi! So... Long story, grab some snacks...
My Admin Rights acc, the one that comes with laptop\windows by default, has problems launching some games and apps. Well, it doesn't. They all complain about different problems but work fine when launched from administrator acc (the one that you need to unhide). Like for example, battlenet. It says it can't find dll library (that's all, not even which). I can run OW without it (nice and smoothly), but then it connects me to american server which results in a 200ms lag.
Administrator account, however, has a problem running the game itself. On the same game settings it's stuttering and freezing and generally acts like I'm running it on a calculator. I have no idea why.
I checked for viruses with a few different programs, deleted every antivirus, disabled windows defender and firewall and set every problematic app to "run as admin" in A acc. AR still refuses to run them. CHanged the AR acc from admin to normal and back again, no difference...
I created 2 new accounts: 1 administrator, 1 standard. Both launch every app without any problem but have the same stuttering and freezing problem as A acc.
Only thing I can find on google related to accounts problem is "run as admin" thing and how it helps improve performance, nothing even remotely similar to my problem...
PS Also feel free to move the topic to wherever appropriate idk where to ask really...
