Before an app can change system settings, the user would have to grant the app administrative privileges by using User Account Control. Windows Defender SmartScreen warns users before allowing them to run an untrustworthy app, even if it's recognized as malware. Windows Defender Antivirus uses cloud-powered real-time detection to identify and quarantine apps that are known to be malicious. Windows has multiple levels of protection for desktop apps and data, too. For instance, Microsoft Store apps are sandboxed and lack the privileges necessary to access user data or change system settings.
Even if a malicious app does get through, the Windows 10 OS includes a series of security features that can mitigate the effect. This certification process examines several criteria, including security, and is an effective means of preventing malware from entering the Microsoft Store. Except for apps that businesses develop and use internally, all Microsoft Store apps must meet a series of requirements to be certified and included in the Microsoft Store. The Windows OS has many features to help protect you from malware, and it does an amazingly good job.
