Windows users, take note: a potentially annoying update is headed your way.


Microsoft is currently testing an update to Windows 10 that will prevent you from installing apps from outside the Windows Store, MSPowerUser reports. The feature is similar to a feature on Macs, which by default prevents users from installing apps from "unidentified developers". The update is set to release in April in the upcoming Creator's Update.

As of now, the feature will be turned off by default. It's supposed to help protect casual users from malware and bloatware, but it could impact developers who release their apps via direct downloads from their websites rather than via the official Windows Store. The company is also reportedly working on a ChromeOS-like version of Windows 10 that will completely prevent installing Win32 apps.

Thanks .

You have that feature on Mac machines. It is designed to help the user avoid downloading malicious software. There are three choices; download only from App Store, Identified developers, and the third choice which allows you to download anything you want. This feature makes you think twice about what you download and has probably saved many users the problems created by malicious software. I am glad for the feature and think it will be valuable for Windows users--especially those new to the world of computers.
