Windows 10: I Want Windows 10 To Never Install Anything From Outside Of The Store

you don't know that yet , photoshop will be there , I think big and complex program can be there

 

that's not a solution , we want windows to be as save and stable as an ipad ios

 

locked to the store by default mean 4 things :-
1- a safer platform for normal users
2- a stable system that does not get junked after installing apps
3-win32 developers will have a bigger reason to repackage their apps for the store ASAP
4-their will be an option for advanced users to unlock it just like Mac OS and Android

 

the app publishing in the store require the developer to register on their developer programs and all the apps are reviewed before publishing to the store , so no bundled adware or malware will go through the store (which are two of the biggest problems normal users face today)

 

Windows 10 can have win32 apps (that's why I suggested this)

 

Android have the ability to install apps from anywhere , and I want windows to be like it (locked to the store by default but you can disable that from the settings if you're a power user or an enterprise )

 

Why should I and all the user that don't want it have to turn it off? If you want it turn it on.

 

Android is not LOCKED to store only. You can download APK files from anywhere, save it to the storage card and manually install it to Android device. Play Store is just another source. Android is an open source device. It's the easiest device to hack. It's not secured.

 

You. Not we. Don't count me in.

 

I will install programs and apps from the Store if they're something I need. However, I will not be locked into a single source for programs I use on my PC. It is my computer and I will not allow it to be controlled by anyone other than myself.

Although I'm solidly a Windows user, the quickest way to send me toward Linux is to tell me I can use only programs from the Store. That I won't tolerate.

 

You probably won't get Malware, viruses or other threats from the Store; however, installing a program on your computer is probably one of the least likely sources of said problems. Just surfing the Internet and visiting the wrong site is more than likely to give you a dose of the afore mentioned problem stuff.

 

It would be a solution to me if I needed it!

Edit: Windows is already as safe and stable as anything else out there. BTW, "Speak for yourself, John!" This "we" ain't joinin' in!

 

Absolutely, since it seems you'd have to be a power user to turn it off! What this seems to me is an absolute dictatorship thing. I don't believe Microsoft would ever consent to being any more a dictator than they are already. *Smile

As he says,

There is no way a regular user would have the knowledge to turn the blamed thing off; therefore, he/she would be a prisoner of his/her own computer.

 

because most of the billion plus windows users are not advanced users , and are harmed by the ability to install from anywhere (go look at a normal user PC , see the junkware , malware and adware that they never intended to install )
the fact that windows is locked to the store (and the fact that the store include win32 apps (full desktop apps) ) mean that windows can be as secure and stable as an ipad.

so this will benefits more than a billion windows normal users , and the advanced users if they didn't find an app at the store they can just go to the settings and enable installing apps from anywhere (just like Mac OS and Android) )
