It should run without restart and can be run as administrator.

When I run as administrator by right button, it is no different with not. When I set the option in setting that "Run as the Administrator", the app wil restart all the time without stop untill I uninstall it. It is same for the Windows Terminal or Windows Terminal Preview.
