Microsoft is bringing tighter security to Windows 11, including smartphone-style app permissions.

Microsoft introduces new app permission prompts in Windows 11 to protect users from unwanted changes and software installs.

Alongside Baseline Security Mode, Microsoft also announced plans to improve how Windows communicates security-related information to users.

A new blog post from Microsoft lays out a per-app permission system that's coming to Windows 11 in the near future.

Windows 11's next act? Lock it down by default and make every app ask nicely first, tightening control, boosting transparency, and curbing unwanted changes.
