MPC2 only opens as administrator

Still in the latest version we cannot open MPC2 with normal user but administrator. This has been happening in Windows 11 for a while. Anyone else is affected? If so I will report to Akai.

This is a known and apparently fixed bug, see release 2.12.2:

If you previously experienced it you have to perform a one time manual fix and it shouldn't return:

On Windows, users currently experiencing an issue where MPC Software will not launch without administrator privileges should locate and delete this folder on their installation drive: ProgramData\Akai\MPC\Sentry. This issue has been resolved for all new installs of MPC Software.
