Η Microsoft αναφέρει ότι οι εφαρμογές που δημοσιεύονται στο Microsoft Store, (UWP από το Universal Windows Platform), αποτελούν την ασφαλέστερη λύση, καθώς προστατεύονται από κάθε malicious software that targets Win32 software.
One of the reasons why UWP apps are recommended is that they run on a sandbox, which means that malware is theoretically impossible to get to your data because sandbox blocks access to other files.
From a technical point of view, Microsoft allows Sandbox UWP applications to access the other files stored on the hard disk with the broadFileSystemAccess API.
This is needed by some UWP apps that need to save files to system disks, and load documents or other functions with computer data. However, the API displays a warning whenever applications require file access. So the users they can block apps they think might contain malware.
But let's see what the problem is. This warning can be blocked and does not appear, such as he revealed Windows Sebastien Lachance developer. In an error analysis, the developer explains that the warning could be bypassed by hackers, which allows them to access the data on your computer without you knowing it.
Microsoft has acknowledged the bug and apparently fixed it in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) not working.
So, although there is a solution ready, no one can use it for the time being, until the company officially releases (again) Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
