How to get rid of the Wuthering Waves anti-cheat after you uninstall the game. The anti-cheat software, called ACE, sometimes stays on your computer even when the game is gone. Follow these steps to remove it completely.

1. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell with administrator rights. You can search for “cmd” or “powershell” in the Windows search bar, right-click it, and choose “Run as administrator”.
2. Type these commands one by one and press Enter after each:
   • sc delete ACE-GAME
   • sc delete ACE-BASE
   • sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Service"
   • sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Protection"
3. Check if the services are gone. Type these commands and press Enter after each:
   • sc query ACE-BASE
   • sc query "AntiCheatExpert Service"
4. If either command says the service is still running, you need to restart your computer.
5. After restarting, open Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator again.
6. Type these commands again, pressing Enter after each:
   • sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Service"
   • sc delete "ACE-BASE"
7. Now, find and delete these files and folders. Use Shift + Delete to remove them permanently.
   • Go to C:\Program Files and delete the AntiCheatExpert folder.
   • Go to C:\ProgramData and delete the AntiCheatExpert folder. (The ProgramData folder might be hidden. In File Explorer, go to the ‘View’ tab and check the box for ‘Hidden items’).
   • Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and delete the file named ACE-BASE.sys.

That should completely remove the anti-cheat components from your system.
