Installed TB v52.7.0 in Admin account but will not open in User account. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. How do I fix this?

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit machine. I installed TB v52.7.0 in my Admin account and setup my Admin email. All works just fine there. Go to the User account and the TB icons are on the Start menu but will do NOTHING when you click them. When I look at "C:>Users>(User Name)>AppData>Roaming" the TB directory/profile has not been created.

Where do I go from here?

Thx.

Try starting it from command line, an error message may help there.

I tried as you suggested and started from the command line. Oddly...nothing was displayed what so ever.

Perhaps explicitly creating a new profile and using that in your secondary (non-admin) user account would help.

This article should provide all the information needed to create a new profile and make Thunderbird use it when you need it.

Let us know here about any progress on this, if you're stuck (or succeed!) don't forget to come back and share your results.
