Description

### Description

When I open the HWiNFO64 app (the portable version) I get a User Account Control message asking "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? then I click Yes and then the exact same message pops up again and I have to click Yes again before the app actually runs. Running the same app through Windows FiIe Explorer only gives one User Account Control message. This is the only app so far that I've noticed this happening.

### Steps To Reproduce

Download the portable version of HWiNFO and run the 64 bit version

### Files Version

4.1.1.0

### Windows Version

Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2 Installed on ‎17/‎12/‎2024 OS build 26200.8457 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.304.0
