Don’t the win32 apps restrict the calls in that subsystem that one can access?

I recall looking into this a while back with the intention of leveraging it for an ancient win32/mfc app. I don’t remember the specifics, but I seem to recall that MS restricted or prevented access to a rather substantial subset of win32.

Not anymore. Microsoft gave up on trying to sandbox Windows Store installs for Win32 apps.

That's good to know. It was still locked down when I looked into it last time.
