Visual Studio does not require admin rights to run at all. It stopped needing that almost ten years ago.

The only exceptions are some parts of the C++ debugger and the driver development kit.

or anything to do with Service Fabric.

I'm not sure if your "almost ten years ago" is meant to be hyperbolic, or genuine... I can't even remember why, but I know the project I was on 6 years ago definitely needed visual studio to have admin access, and it was all standard C# app stuff (maybe WPF?)
