Hi, In this article :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-buffer-security-and-access-rights
it is written :
The term "wrong-way verbs" is intended to apply to the operation that is the converse of the normal flow for one of the console objects. Specifically, the normal flow for the output buffer is writing and the normal flow for the input buffer is reading. The "wrong-way" would therefore be the reading of the output buffer or the writing of the input buffer. These are functions that are described in the Low-Level Console I/O Functions documentation. And when I click on the link Low-Level Console I/O Functions,  it is written : These functions enable an application to perform the following tasks:
[...]
Write input records to the input buffer. I don't understand. I thought Write input records to the input buffer was impossible because this is wrong-way verbs".
If someone can explain me.
Thanks
Aurélien

    The discussion of wrong way verbs points out that it is applicable only in specific scenarios involving UWP console applications or lower integrity processes using the console of a higher integrity process. Otherwise, the wrong way verb restrictions are not enforced.
