What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When I close Dolphin and reopen it around a day later, or if I try to use a desktop shortcut, the following 3 error messages appear:
The code execution cannot proceed because Qt6Widgets.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
[This error format is repeated, but with the following files: Qt6Core.dll, Qt6Gui.dll].
This does not appear to happen if I set Dolphin to run as an administrator.
**

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download Dolphin, unzip, etc.
2. Wait anywhere from 6 hours to a full day.
3. Try to open Dolphin (but don't use administrator mode).
4. Error messages appear.

Alternate steps:

1. Download Dolphin, unzip, etc.
2. Create a desktop shortcut for Dolphin itself , but not the other files in the zip folder (these can stay in Downloads or wherever they were before).
3. Try to open Dolphin (but don't use administrator mode).
4. Error messages appear.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes- 2603-269

Is the issue present in the latest release? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest release.

Yes- 2603a

If the issue isn't present in the latest release, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) running Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2 (although I should clarify that this issue followed me from Windows 10 as well as another laptop)

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I'm not sure exactly how long it has to be before Dolphin stops working, but it seems to be roughly 6 hours to a day between downloading it and it giving the errors upon startup. It doesn't seem to happen in this time frame every time, but as long as it's not configured to run as an administrator, it will always happen eventually, which necessitates a full reinstallation of the app.
