ArcMap 10.6.1 starts fine when I "run as administrator" but hangs at "initializing application" when I run as a regular user.
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from 7, both 64bit. ArcMap 10.5 had been working well with Win7. After the (clean install) upgrade to Win10, I installed ArcGIS 10.6.1 and successfully authorized the license (single-user). When installing I had to provide administrator privileges at the usual point in the installation process.
Now when I am using my "regular user" account, ArcMap hangs at "initializing application". ArcCatalog opens without problems. No error messages come up - the startup just freezes. After I click on the installation banner a couple times a message comes up: "ArcMap is not responding; do you want to close the program or wait for it to respond". I have waited up to 30 minutes before forcing it to close.
