    How to return to PC Settings > Apps "Allow apps from anywhere?"


    I wanted to install iTunes from an Apple download. I get the message: "Your PC settings mean only verified apps from the Store can be installed. Here's a similar app from the Store"

    In "PC Settings", I see "Allow apps from the store only"

    I changed to "Allow apps from anywhere". That allowed the iTunes installation.

    After the installation, I changed PC Settings to be "Warn me when ..."

    Now I want to install CCleaner. I get a red warning "This app has been blocked for your protection."

    I changed PC settings to "Allow apps from anywhere." I get the same red warning.

    How do I get back to my original setup, which was "Allow apps from anywhere"?

    Thanks.

    :)
