mGBA doesn't auto-update unless you run it as admin

Build: 0.10.2 (can also reproduce the issue on the latest dev builds) OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 (version 21H2) CPU & GPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

As title says, mGBA will not update unless you run it as admin. Not much more to say here since it's been discussed on the Discord server and I'm also including a video of it happening here.

This still happens on 0.10.5 and on the latest dev build.

The emulator downloads update.7z but it does not uncompress it and run the updated version, so the only way is copying the 7z file before starting the update and then exit and update itwith the 7z contents, if you dont do it the updater deletes the 7z file closes the emulator and run the old version again, it happens with all dev builds
