Microsoft reports that applications published in the Microsoft Store (UWP from the Universal Windows Platform) are the safest solution as they are protected against any malicious software targeting 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 store files in the diskς του συστήματος, και να φορτώνουν έγγραφα ή άλλες λειτουργίες με δεδομένα στον υπολογιστή. Ωστόσο, το API εμφανίζει μια προειδοποίηση κάθε φορά που οι εφαρμογές απαιτούν πρόσβαση σε αρχεία. Έτσι οι 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 Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) which does not work.
So, although there is a solution ready, one cannot use it for now, and until the company to officially (re)release the Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
