If it works for root but not for a user, then obviously the user's
environment is broken.  If TeX Live is installed system-wide, users
shouldn't have any TeX Live related stuff in ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile,
~/.bash_profile... 

The following commands are quite helpful for debugging:

  sudo which latex

  echo $PATH | tr ":" "\n"

  set | grep -i tex

  tlmgr conf

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
