You're Installing Programs WRONG
When installing programs, consider security and convenience factors like user access levels and installation methods, such as using the Microsoft Store, to avoid potential risks like malware and unauthorized modifications.
MAIN POINTS FROM TRANSCRIPT
- Choose between installing for all users or just yourself to manage security and access.
- Installing for all users typically places programs in the Program Files folder, enhancing security.
- Some applications, like browsers, auto-update without admin prompts due to background services.
- Certain apps may require a separate installer for all-user installation, enhancing security.
TAKEAWAYS
- Installing programs for all users can prevent unauthorized access and modifications.
- The Microsoft Store may offer a secure installation option depending on the program.
- Auto-updating services in some applications can bypass admin prompts for convenience.
- Separate installers may be necessary for secure, all-user installations of certain apps.
