Community Questions WuWa Tappo's Admin Access Requirement

A recent post on r/WutheringWaves highlights concerns regarding the Windows User Access Control prompt triggered by the Wuthering Waves Tappo application. The community member notes that launching Tappo requests admin permissions, a step that raises security questions about the software's legitimacy. The poster argues that standard applications, such as Discord, can detect keystrokes for shortcuts without requiring elevated privileges, suggesting Tappo's request is unusual. They also point out that the original Bongo Cat application did not require such access. The user proposes a technical explanation: since the main Wuthering Waves game runs with admin privileges, a non-admin application like Tappo cannot track keystrokes or controller inputs while the game is focused. To ensure functionality, the developer may have granted Tappo equivalent admin access. The post concludes by advising users to utilize a script instead of launching Tappo directly to bypass the prompt. This discussion reflects ongoing community scrutiny regarding third-party tools associated with the game, emphasizing the importance of understanding why specific permissions are requested by companion applications.
