“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?”...
Windows Security (Defender) has the built-in tools that detect potentially unwanted apps, malware, virus and other malicious files/apps/websites.
as a user, don't give file permission to apps that you don't trust.

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 regards
just 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.
