Research direction
Start by tracing the Windows context-menu launch path and compare it with the start-menu launch path described in the issue. Reproduce the behavior on Windows 10 with Hyper 2.1.1, then verify that opening “Open Hyper here” applies the configured administrator permission just as the start-menu launch does.
