Quick Report

Windows 11 is adding per-app controls for microphone, location, and camera access. The change gives users more granular control over which applications can use sensitive hardware and location data.

More precise permissions can make it easier to limit unnecessary access without disabling a capability for the entire system. Users should still review existing permissions after the update and understand how desktop, web, and packaged applications are handled.
