Hello Pucar, welcome to the forum.

I would like to recommend you to right click on this application to check the permissions , verify if the domain administrator belongs to the administrator group and make sure the domain administrator have enough permissions. Or you can launch the Computer Management, navigate to the Local Users and Groups, click Groups and click Administrators, make sure the domain administrator is the member of administrator groups.

Also check the driver status. is it up to date?

Thanks

The domain administrator belongs to the administrator group. The application works totally fine with another user. So, I think that the driver is up to date.
