“Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?”
Hello everyone! I use Windows 10 home Whenever I install some new software, the window appears, where I get asked the following: “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?”...
Hello Ysera_Dreamer,
The 'Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?' prompt is basically the User Account Control prompt. You can read all about it in this documentation:
The answer to your questions:
1) IMO, there is no such list to access. All the third-party apps (except Microsoft Store apps) you may have installed should have been granted via UAC prompt.
2) This specifically depends upon the app you are granting access to.
3) May or may not be possible, again depends upon the app.
Regards.
KapilArya Is it safe if i click yes?
- Do you know if there is a list of apps that can make changes to your divce and how can a take away access
- Thank you for your post!
It just seems weird / wrong to me that, when I grant this kind of access to an app. The app could potentially get access to all my personal files on my drive, and then change and upload / steal them?
