You dont want coolgame app to be able to read and alter sucurebank app. the funny thing with for example snap apps is that most want full privileges...

  Doesn’t Windows require Administrative privileges to access another process’ memory? I know it does to get direct access to a hard drive. Granted, it would be nice if one had to explicitly whitelist an app that wanted to read other process’ memory.

    You don't need admin to do it to yourself, otherwise debuggers wouldn't work. It will fail if you do it for an unrelated user though. Basically the permissions are enforced at OpenProcess(), and these are the permissions you can ask for: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/process-security-and-access-rights https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/pr...

    Up until recently it was standard to just blindly grant admin to whatever asked for it, because UAC's implementation was so damn naggy. With Windows XP or before there was no UAC and most everyone ran as admin unless you were computer savvy or on a corporate PC.

  Many years ago this was brought up as a security issue with Windows that was "impossible" to fix, can't remember what they called it though.

  Could one run a snap application in a chroot inside a VM in another city via ssh work for better security ?
