When I'm trying to start komorebi without administrative privileges it fails to start if any of window with administrative privileges is running at the moment.
The failure appears in workspace.rs line 379:

window.set_position(layout, false)?;

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run command prompt as administrator
Run another command prompt without administrative privileges and run komorebi or komorebic start
Komorebi attempts to reorganize windows, fails in some moment and exit.
Access is denied. error is printer to console/logs.

Expected behavior:
By my expectation komorebi should ignore/log error with reposition of administrative window and should continue to start.
