UAC Prompt Does Not Have Use the "Use a different account" Option

I am fairly new at this company, and before I joined a few months ago they have implemented Intune. They set up a security baseline and some configuration profiles and pushed them to every machine. The "Use a different account" in a UAC prompt is gone. On a non-virtual machine with Windows Hello you can use the biometrics option to authenticate as a local admin but if you are on a virtual azure machine or Windows 365 or want to use a different user account it is impossible to enter those credentials manually. You have to use the local admin LAPs account which is really annoying especially for helpdesk.

I was hoping someone could give me some ideas on what configuration setting or security baseline setting is causing this. I know they should not have pushed these out before testing but I joined too late to stop that.

I also know for sure it's a configuration profile or security baseline because if I add a machine to Intune without applying our device configuration group, that "Use a different account" option is there.

If I'm missing any details, please ask questions to clear anything up.
