What Is an App Permission in Windows 10?
App permissions allow programs to access specific features of your device including hardware (such as the GPS to determine your location) or software (such as your Windows Calendar). It’s important to know which apps are using which permissions. While apps that don’t have the permissions they need will ask for them, there may be apps with permissions they don’t need. For example, you probably don’t want all of your applications to have access to your microphone. If your computer has any malware installed, that could pose a serious security threat. For this reason, it’s best to turn off system-wide permissions for your mic.
App Permissions and Installing From the Windows Store
Apps downloaded from the Windows Store will install without asking for permission. If you’ve turned off the permissions for specific software or hardware, the app will only ask for permission when you launch it. If you have problems opening an app from the Windows store, turn the permissions it needs back on and restart the app.
