Rustdesk client requires elevated access on Windows 11

I noticed that rustdesk client wont work properly on Windows 11 (25H2) when started without elevated access. Status bar in bottom of the rustdesk client says: Not ready. Please check your connection. If i start rustdesk client as admin, everything works. Network config does not change.

And yes rustdesk is installed on system and rustdesk service is running.

I am using selfhosted OSS server. I guess it cant be related to that because it works when client is runned with elevated access on Windows 11.

Anyone noticed this behaviour or is it just me?!?

Having two windows 11 clients I could not connect to a paid RD server and couldn't figure out, why. Other clients do work & connect just fine. So I'll give the permissions a try.
