This is why you shouldn’t be allowed to side load apps on your computer. All apps should be vetted through the Window’s Store then all of the cyber security issues would be resolved.

Yeah, just like with Android or iOS… Oh wait all these stores are loaded with malware… So how about I do with MY hardware as I please and you go back to sucking corpo dick?

You’re just proving my point though. You should never side load from Android or iOS because they’re obviously corrupted. It should be the Windows Store across the board; plus that would break the monopoly that Apple has over iOS!
