    Hello,

    can you consider adding information that security recommendations displayed on “Filesystem Security” page when running on Windows (so you can just create simple checking on what system WordPress is running) system can be displayed incorrectly? File permissions on Windows system are being set in different way than on Linux. For example one wordpress recommendation was 0644 but there was 0666 displayed or 0777 where recommendation was 0755. In this case 0777 and 0666 where on because access to this certain directory or file was set only to system user allowed to access this page and yellow and red backgrounds under this recommendations can cause people think that there is something wrong with their WordPress.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes the next release will have a simple check regarding the type of system and if it is windows there will not be any folder permissions settings but instead a special message stating why.
