    Everything is exactly the same as with PoE 1:
    1. Win+R -> compmgmt.msc -> Enter
    2. Create a local user without administrator rights, for example "user";
    3. Restrict access to everything except the catalog with the game;
    4. Create a shortcut for PoE 2, in the object field, by changing the device name and the path to the executable file to its own values:
    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:device_name\user /savecred "D:\Path of Exile 2\PathOfExile.exe"

    I'm having trouble setting this up, i created a new USER on windows, I go into the steam/common folders and find Pathofexile2 folder, i created a shortcut of the POE.x64
    I right click and go into properties and change the target to
    C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:NEWUSERNAME\user /savecred "D:\Path of Exile 2\PathOfExile.exe"
    and nothing happens besides a cmd window asking for a password?
    I click enter and nothing happpens besides window closing.
    i Also changed the location to my poe2 folder in the "D:\Path of Exile 2\PathOfExile.exe" part of the command

    Only via shif+rght click to open via a new user
    A solution has been found for the password entry error.
    You need to go to windows group policies and disable "Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only" ("Limit the use of empty passwords only for login consoles")

    1. Click the Start button, select Run, type gpedit.msc, and click OK to launch the Group Policy Object Editor. 3
    2. Open the section "Computer Configuration" β†’ "Windows Configuration" β†’ "Security Settings" β†’ "Local policies" β†’ "Security settings" β†’ "Accounts". 3
    3. Double-click "Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only" ("Limit the use of empty passwords only for login consoles"). 3
    4. Select "Disabled" and click OK. 3
    5. Close the Group Policy Editor. 3
