Open settings as a standard user, go to file explorer add ons. It displays that you should run the power toys settings as administrators.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Display a button to restart the settings as an administrator

❌ Actual Behavior

Have to close powertoys and run it again as administrator. It would be much nicer if powertoys offers a button for admin rights elevation.

Fair feedback, this is on the general page.

I'll create a new feature request to improve this experience.
