With a permission setting?
There are permissions for which apps can use my Mic, Camera, Contacts, Call history, etc... Microsoft could easily add one that lets me run UWP apps with a higher privilege that allows IPC with Win32 apps.
As it is right now, you can't even build a UWP app that can talk to a server app running on the same exact machine. Instead, you have to build all of your UWP apps so that they depend on some Internet server.
- Const-me 10y agoPermission settings only work for the minority of people who’re into that information security thing. Look at the mobile apps. Many apps require geolocation permission, not because they need it, but because they include some ads, and ad provider who made their ad serving control needs GPS coordinates to serve better ads. The majority of users don’t care. They just click “I agree” on those permission popups, so unlimited number of third-parties able to literally track their each step.
- WayneBro 10y agoRight. And I'm assuming since you care about it then you would not allow the permission. So, you're covered. What's your problem now?
