Windows 10: Developer Mode

I just got a Lenovo IdeaPad laptop and am trying to turn on Developer Mode so I can download Chrome since it is required for an online class. Despite me entering my PIN and my password it keeps telling me Access is Denied and will not let me make the change. What can I do to either download Chrome or switch into Developer Mode?

Windows 10: Developer Mode package failed to install. Error code 0x80004005

Attempting to activate developer mode so I can access the Linux Subsystem feature. Upon switching to developer mode, I receive the error in the title and am subsequently unable to locate the package in the 'optional features' list where it is supposedly located. The only other suggestions I've seen online involve registry manipulation, which I view as a last resort--is there no other alternative way to access this package?
