    installing apps only from windows store ... Can't turn off!


    Hi,

    I have a student that is attempting to download software she needs for my class. When she tries to install it, the Microsoft Store pops up.

    She is using Windows 10, as am I.

    I was able to find where to change this to "install from anywhere" on my computer.

    installing apps only from windows store ... Can't turn off! 625f7055-241e-4eab-97d2-a13f017cb969?upload=true.png


    But when she shared her screen with me, and went to the same location, the "Choose where to get apps" section was not there at all!

    I instructed her to run windows update and keep doing it until it says up to date, but I think her version wasn't far behind mine.


    Where can she find this on her Windows 10 laptop? She needs to be able to install software from anywhere!


    Any help is appreciated.

    :)

  2. Store Settings "Update apps automatically" won`t stay switched off. WHY?

    Hi H. G.,

    The possible reason why Update apps automatically turn back on is that the Store app is running in the background. We suggest that you turn off the Store app. This way, it won't receive any updates or send notifications unless opened or turned on
    manually.

    To turn off Store app, follow these steps:

    • Click the Windows logo, then go to Settings.
    • Click Privacy, then Background apps.
    • On the list, locate Store and toggle it off.

    Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

  3. Windows Store to Pack "Mature" Games and Apps

    They announce this right after they said weren't going to carry any of it... Ya think some investors told them to stfu and take money? *Laugh :laugh:

    I wonder how long it will be before you can't install noncertified apps? The app store is the 1st stepping stone. Although, you'd have to be an idiot to give 30% to these clowns.
