HOW TO CHANGE FILE ACCESS PERMISSIONS FOR WINDOWS 10 APPS –
WIndows 10 1803 and above allows you to control which apps have
permissions to certain files on your system.

With each new Windows 10 feature update, Microsoft improves privacy
settings. Starting with Windows 10 1803 April Update there are more
ways to control file access. You can restrict or deny UWP (Universal
Windows Platform) app (not win32) access to the files stored in your
Documents and Pictures libraries. You can even lockdown apps and
deny permissions to the full file system.

UWP app = an app that will work on any Microsoft Product, such as a PC, smartphone, tablet, or
Xbox One.
