“Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?”
Further questions:
I have installed:
Authentic games (acknowledged titles and not pirated)
AVG and Malwarebytes
Acknowledged software for recreating deleted data
Should any of those rise any concern regarding, that they in any was accessed something they should not, or in any way uploaded any data that was not part of their function?
If ANY software tries to install (malicious), will this window asking for permission get triggered?
Thanks in advance for replying
Best regards
as a user, don't give file permission to apps that you don't trust.

Best regardsWithout knowing more details I can't tell.
I suggest checking out this GitHub repository, you will learn a lot about security in Windows:
https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security
To try to sum up my concern.
I have some folders containing private files (not anything shady etc.), pictures of my newborn child etc.
How can I surely find out, that no "shady" software has acccess to my personal folders, and that it has not uploaded the content of these folders without my knowledge?
How would you approach this?
Thanks again for your help
Best regardsjust don't install apps you don't trust, that'd be my approach.
use Bitlocker on your drives too.also enable controlled folder access in Windows defender and add your important folders to it.
