When I initially installed the Modrinth App, I selected "C:\Program Files\Modrinth App" to be the installation directory.
I did this because most of the programs that are intended to be used globally on all user accounts do this.
And installer might of had that as the default option back then when I installed it several months ago.
The problem
Now back then I didn't know what issues choosing the Program Files as the installation folder would bring up.
Because now, if the app has an update, it cannot access the folder and can't update the app. (Because it's not running with elevated privileges and therefore can't access the system folder).
So I have to manually go to the "C:\Program Files\Modrinth App" folder, and run the app as an admin from there for the updater to work.
A simple solution
And a simple checkbox that would allow me to install the update / run the updater with Admin-level access would solve my issue.
