Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to add per-application privacy settings

The upcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will shake up the operating system's privacy settings. One of the new things here is that Microsoft is taking a page from Apple's and Google's book by introducing per-application privacy settings. But one caveat is that this feature will be exclusively for apps retrieved via the Windows Store:

Starting with the Fall Creators Update, we’re extending this experience to other device capabilities for apps you install through the Windows Store. You will be prompted to provide permission before an app can access key device capabilities or information such as your camera, microphone, contacts, and calendar, among others. This way you can choose which apps can access information from specific features on your device.

Additionally, the software giant will be giving Enterprise customers greater control over which diagnostics data is shared with Microsoft. More at The Windows Blog.
