The real answer?
"We once gave you commoners this power and you used it to fuck your computer up and then blamed us for it, so we learned you can't be trusted with this power. We hid it behind a kind of skill test, and you're failing that test."
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 ๐
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.

@Reddfugee42 @programmerhumor
Why can't I delete System32? It's taking up space.
Where are the other 31 systems??
I prefer the answer of giving the giy the reins and letting him get it so riddled with viruses then when he calls for support replying "sorry, your property your problem. You have absolute dominion over it and thus we give no warranty as we have no responsibility."
Microsoft gives no warranty and assumes no responsibility as it is.
Reminds me of the โchmod 777โ crowd at work. Goddamn it.
