An error in Windows 10 can make you steal all your information without you noticing

A developer has found a new error in Windows 10 that allows attackers to access all your private information and stored on your hard drive without you noticing, and everything seems related to a security flaw in the universal applications of the operating system.

If you thought that the latest Windows 10 errors had ended after reports of random file deletion, overwriting on Zip files or damaged sound drivers on HP computers, a new bug related to universal Windows applications has now been located 10 that, supposedly, were safe.

Thanks to this error in the Windows 10 UWP application code, hackers could be allowed to access the user's hard drive and steal the data they wanted.

This has been explained by the developer Sebastien Lachance, who specializes in Windows applications, and who says he has found an error in UWP applications in Windows 10. It is a strange failure, since these applications, unlike other regular programs , they are executed separately from the rest of the operating system.

And is that universal applications must run in "Sandbox" mode, but thanks to the broadFileSystemAccess API allows certain applications to directly access the user's hard drive. And it is that in legitimate applications it is necessary to do this, as it can be when editing and saving files on the computer.
When an application uses this app it is assumed that we should see a pop-up window that alerted by requesting access and writing permission. However, this error found means that this warning never appears, so users do not realize if applications are requesting this access to their hard disk or not.

Despite what we tell you, it seems that this error has been solved with the October 10 update of Windows 10, although if you have not installed it yet for fear of the continuous errors it has been giving, it is likely that you are suffering from this bug of your universal applications.
