I just activated the (Administrator Protection) feature and noticed that Macrium Reflect now asks for a PIN code

After entering the PIN code, the program appeared as if it had just been installed, the backups are missing from the program menus but are present on the hard drive, he also asked me select the theme as it happens when installing for the first time.

The program settings and so is the difinition file and logs are still the same,. I have no idea what happened. Does anyone here know?

Administrator Protection feature acts as if you are a totally new user, therefore the application behaves accordingly.

Thank you, that seems like a logical explanation.
