Describe the bug When I connect to a Windows client, I always get the Windows permissions prompt "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to you device?" I click "No" and RustDesk works fine. I assume RustDesk is trying to do something that requires higher privileges but that it doesn't actually need to do.

Describe the environment

  • Install environment: RustDesk installed as a Windows service on Windows 11.
  • In any case, you have to specify the version in use: 1.2.3
  • I have two Windows machines that exhibit this behavior.

How to Reproduce the bug Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Given the previously described environment
  2. Connect to the Windows client.
  3. See the UAC prompt.

Expected behavior There doesn't seem to be any need for RustDesk to attempt to do whatever it is trying to do because everything works fine when I do not grand permission.
