    How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Store Apps in Windows 10


    The Microsoft Store app in Windows 10 offers various apps, games, music, movies & TV, and books that users can browse through, purchase, or get for free to download and install for their Microsoft account in Windows 10 PCs and devices.

    If you like, you can use a group policy that turns off the launch of all apps from the Microsoft Store that came pre-installed or were downloaded. Apps will not be updated. The Microsoft Store app will also be disabled.

    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the ability to open apps from the Microsoft Store for all users in Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education.

    App disappeared from Microsoft store

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    • Which security software is installed in the computer?
    Try the below steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I would suggest you to clear the Store cache and check if the issue persists.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type wsreset.exe and press OK

    Step 2: Disable the security software and check.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software,
    you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Also, I suggest you run the Windows Store app troubleshooter and check.
    Follow the steps:


    • Press Windows Key + X..

    • Click on Control Panel.

    • Select Troubleshooting.

    • On the left pane, click on View All.

    • Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.
    Hope this helps. If you face any issues with Windows, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Enable or Disable Microsoft Edge Address Bar Drop-down Suggestions in Local Group Policy Editor

    How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Edge Address Bar Drop-down Suggestions in Windows 10


    Microsoft Edge is a new web browser that is available across the Windows 10 device family. It is designed for Windows 10 to be faster, safer, and compatible with the modern Web.

    The Address bar drop-down functionality in Microsoft Edge allows showing suggested search results when typing in the Microsoft Edge address bar (suggestions list).

    If you like, you can configure the Allow Address bar drop-down list suggestions group policy setting that lets you decide whether the Address bar drop-down functionality is available in Microsoft Edge. Microsoft recommends disabling this setting if you want to minimize network connections from Microsoft Edge to Microsoft services.

    If you enable or don't configure this setting, users can see the Address bar drop-down functionality in Microsoft Edge.

    If you disable this setting, users won't see the Address bar drop-down functionality in Microsoft Edge. This setting also disables the user-defined setting, Show search and site suggestions as I type in Microsoft Edge settings.

    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the Address bar drop-down list suggestions functionality in Microsoft Edge for all users in Windows 10.

    *Warning You must be signed in as an administrator to enable or disable the Address bar drop-down functionality in Microsoft Edge.
