Malware Mayhem No More: Microsoft Shuts Down App Protocol Ahead of Holidays
Windows app woes? Microsoft slams the brakes on its ms-appinstaller URI scheme right before the holidays—because nothing screams ‘festive spirit’ like a malware free-for-all!
Hot Take:

By disabling the ms-appinstaller URI scheme, they've essentially told the baddies, "You've been naughty, and now you can't play with our toys." It's like when your mom figured out the scissors weren't for running but for crafting, and all your sprinting shenanigans came to a screeching halt. Safety first, folks!Already a member? Log in here
