Windows 10: How do I change my app recommendation settings so I could download apps that are not in the...

How do I change my app recommendation settings so I could download apps that are not in the microsoft store? I cannot locate the Apps and Features settings.

Change app recommendation settings

When I try to download an app to my Windows 10 PC, I get the message, This app is not a microsoft verified app. Change your app recommendation settings. I've tried and failed. I go to settings, app, apps and features and there is no option there. The
only options are Optional features and App execution aliases. My PC is running Windows 10 Home 1909. How can I change this?

 

Unverified app, change your app recommendation settings

It seems the App Recommendations menu is missing:

I find no other reported cases of this being missing, so let's check over the System to find and fix problems that might be causing this:

First try re-registering the Settings app from Option 2 here:

Next go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done:

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue
with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, and is also the most stable method to advance to the latest
version.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Desktop HTML shortcuts being listed in Apps under settings?

A friends Win 10 installation is listing Desktop HTML shortcuts under Apps in the Setting App listing. Seems to have happened after he downloaded and installed a program in support of some two way radio equipment. System Restore does not correct the problem. Suggestions appreciated.
