"Restart" performs "Restart as Admin"?

Hello,

Just noticed this: I have an AutoHotkey v2 script running in the background, "AutoHotkey64.exe". It is not running as Admin/elevated.

If I right-click/Restart it, it will restart as Admin. I'm not selecting "Restart as Admin", just "Restart". This did not occur before. Perhaps it's a problem with the newer PL 15.0.3.22?

Thank you

edit: also confirmed it with restarting a different, non-elevated program - it restarts as admin.

It's not a new issue, but I can confirm that the elevated state of the GUI can inappropriately be passed to a process restarted via the "Restart" context menu item. We're working on it, and I'll reply again when the issue has been addressed. Thanks for reporting the problem!
