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 sandbox, which means it's theoretically impossible for malware to get to your data because the sandbox blocks access to the rest of your files.
From technique point of view now, Microsoft allows UWP apps running in a sandbox to access the rest of the files stored on the hard drive with the broadFileSystemAccess API.
This is required by some UWP applications that need to store files on system drives, and load documents or other functions with data on the computer. However, the API displays a warning whenever applications require access to files. So users can block applications that they believe may 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 recognized the error and it seems that it fixed it on a non-working Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809).
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.
