Good luck with opening the subdirectories of
C:\WindowsApps\. I ran Explorer as admin, gave myself R/W permissions, even recursively changed ownership of everything, followed all the online guides... Still denied access.If you make a bootable linux usb drive you can do whatever you want with all windows stupid files without even having to install linux.
Those're probably containerised.
Sandboxed rather than containerised I think.
what was the difference for those of us who dont know, like andrew over here 😂
Sandboxed typically restricts a program from being able to read/write to various areas (think an app isn't allowed to use the network, or access USB devices, or it's only allowed access to a certain directory in the filesystem).
Containerised is a way of virtualising an app/apps so that they can be easily distributed to run once or thousands. They can and are also sandboxed to different degrees.
U can use proccess hacker to lauch for example total commander with SYSTEM privileges it's highest possible privilege in windows.
its* ~~hightest~~ highest
Highest*
Whoops! Thanks. Corrected.
