Windows 10 will get encrypted app installs

 

Today, new information got released about Microsoft's plans for the Universal Windows Platform. Windows 10 will get a more secure encrypted appx format so no one will be able to modify these apps.

 

Universal apps in Windows 10 are stored in the folder C:\program files\WindowsApps. They are protected with permissions but if you take ownership of that folder and grant administrator permissions, then you can access app files.

With these changes however, when the user installs an app from the Windows Store, it will get encrypted on-the-fly using the Encrypting File System feature of Windows.

 

 

Once encrypted, app files will not be accessible for modification even if full access permissions are granted.

Because of this change, Microsoft can finally offer protection to developers against apps getting decompiled and against piracy and easy app modification, which has always a problem for developers due to the .NET platform heritage. Now apps should become more secure and safe.

You're not the only one my friend's PC is doing the same they  went back to th2 and locked down the auto updates  and wait too see do they fix it ..That's about all you can do if you have problems or use windows 7 or 8.1 instead . Not every one had problems  every PC not the same . It runs fine for me on both my computers . Redstone had 5000 changes and still many bugs left .. What do you expect there a multi billion dollar company to cheap to pay professional testers .

 

I  expect no less from some not qualified  armatures doing it for free and testing it. That's like taking you're PC to a lawnmower shop and expecting them to fix it. If they wanted to fix it they would pay rewards  out and then they would get people who know what there doing .  Most real  techies  are over on Linux  that build there own os and stuff they want touch it  why would they help make some company more rich for free ?  i know I'm not going beta test for them .
