With Windows 10 RS4 (build 17083 and later), Microsoft is introducing the ability to control app permissions.


So it makes sense that Windows 10 should also allow users to manage what apps can access on their devices. Microsoft is seeing a similar future for Windows 10, where apps are abundant. Lately, both Android and iOS have been giving more choices to the users, regarding which permissions an app has. If you do install and use UWP apps from the Windows 10 Store then you have all the more reason to know how to manage your privacy. You may have those too, so it would only help to learn how you can manage app permissions on Windows 10. Still, I do have quite a few of those, mostly pre-installed. And frankly, most of the UWP apps can’t even compete with the desktop apps. These apps were far different in my mind though. A dedicated Facebook app, Twitter app, Messenger, Google, a special Chrome for Windows 10, etc. The ground reality is, even if there are apps, who’s going to use them on a PC? I’m probably the only person actually excited about smartphone-like apps on PC. Microsoft has been pushing its Windows Store hard, trying to get developers to develop modern apps for the Windows desktop.
