Hi all, longtime user here. I’m running into a persistent issue on my Win10 PC with SABnzbd auto-starting in non-admin mode after reboot. When this happens, it loads an old queue (over a year old), won’t delete NZBs, and fills my HDD with repeated downloads.
If I close it and reopen in admin mode, everything works fine—no rogue queue. I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find where this non-admin queue is stored to delete it manually.
I've already reinstalled (now on v4.4.0) and set the shortcut to run as admin, but the problem persists if I don't log in.
Any ideas on how to locate and remove that old queue or fully stop SABnzbd from running in non-admin mode?
Thanks in advance!

Why do you need to run it in admin mode? That isn't needed at all.
It's because it's using different folders based on what permissions it has.
Maybe you need to clean install? With 4.5.1 or course.
