Windows 10: HAH, I Found A Typo In Windows!

So I was browsing around in Windows Defender (Windows Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender > Open Windows Defender Security Center > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings, then scroll down to Controlled folder access.)

The sentence "Protect your files and folders from unauthorized changed by unfriendly applications" has a typo in it.
(Refer to the attached picture)

Either:
• The word "changed" has a typo in it and should be the word "changes" (with an 's' instead of a 'd'), or
• There is at least one missing word in between the words "unauthorized" & "changed"
Somebody should inform Microsoft about this typo.

But Also: I noticed that this is a new option, since the last time I was browsing around in there. What does this option exactly do? It was originally off, but I turned it On. Yet I must say that I have seen a few messages pop up in the right corner of the screen, stating that Windows Defender blocked some programs from making changes. One of them showed explorer.exe from modifying the Favorites folder without me doing anything with Favorites. Exactly what does this option do? Is it kind of like some sort of strict "Firewall"? Because if so, then I like that.

Hah ! You got it !



I found a Connectivity Driver andclicke "Repair Driver". In a minute or two it had fixed the problem.



Many thanks !

 

Mine says 'unauthorised' (but then it should in the UK) - still has the typo though *Biggrin

Blocks access to your files and documents by unknown apps (malware/ransomware). It's off by default because not all 'good' apps are in it's 'trusted' list. It takes a bit of fiddling to get all your apps to work after you turn it on.

Hi Bree. Thanks for the reply.

But I also agree with you; British people have the original typo of using 's' instead of 'z'.
"unauthorised" should be "unauthorized" =þ

And having the typos of using the 's' instead of 'z' in certain words, should be unauthorized! =D hahahaha

And thanks for that link; I'm reading through it and seeing what it does. Default folders that are in my User folder, such as Videos, Documents, Images, etc are in that list. I was thinking of removing all these folders and just having the default operating system folders be protected for now. Give it a few days and see what it does. I read a bit from that post in the link you put above. Good info, thanks =)

 

Typos within software are given an extremely low priority when bugs are sorted to determine which will get fixed first.

 

Well...
seeing as how we were all sitting around yesterday like wolves, foaming at the mouth, in front of a trough of fresh steaks, waiting for them to push the Build out...
mistakes are bound to happen!!! *Wink *Wink *Wink

 

Hmm, I think I still might be one of the wolves from yesterday, because some fresh steaks sound pretty good! I'm getting hungry here =þ

 

I think you'll find 's' is the original and it got corrupted when it was exported *Biggrin

Actually, as a courtesy I try to switch my spelling to match the country of the OP when replying *Smile

 

Haha, you're too kind. Giving me VIP service by switching your English to match my English instead =P

Yet actually though, you see, after the 's' got exported over here, it turned into a 'z' because that is the new and improved version of it! You see, us Americans are great at being lazy, so we gotta turn that into z's instead. We're good at going ZZZ in the head. =P
You guys should join in with us doing those z's *chuckle

lolz <-- see? it's perfect for everything! *chuckle*chuckle*chuckle*chuckle

 

Why stop there?*Biggrin

LOL. Funny read... or should I say: funy reed? HAH.

Also he had a small typo: He wrote "iear" instead of "ieer" *Biggrin

 

Developers sometimes award prized (or cash) for bugs reported in new releases.
But I don't think they'll reward you for a spelling error.
I'm not sure why you'd post it here.

 

Reminds me of this, which resurfaced during some online Brexit discussions (best experienced if the piece is read out loud!):

Euro-English

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English is to be the official language of the EU – rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty’s Government conceded that English spelling would need to be modified to encourage its use among EU nations. A five year phase-in plan was accepted and a modified English spelling language would be known as‘Euro-English’.

................................................................................

In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ and final "g" in words will be dropped in favour of the ‘k’. "Ch" and "sh" and soft "g" will bekome "j". "T" may replase "d."

There will be krowink publik enthusiasm in the sekont year, when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaset with the ‘f’. This will make worts like ‘fotokraf’ 20% jorter. "qu" ant other kombinajuns will also use fonetik kontrakjuns.

In the 3rt year, publik axeptanse of the new spellink kan be xpektet to reaj a staj where more komplikatet janjes are possible. Kovernments will enkoraj the removal of tuble leters, whij have always ben a teterent to akurate spelink. Also, al wil akre that the horible mes of the silent ‘e’ in the lankuaj is tiskrasful ant this joult solv the isu.

By the fourth year, peopl wil b reseptiv to steps suj as replasink ‘th’ with ‘z’ ant ‘w’ wiz ‘v’.

In Serbian language you write exactly as it's spoken and read exactly as it was written. There are few special letters to replace combination of letters, grammar is complicated though.
