Windows 10: My advanced app setting doesn't have the choose where to get apps from option at all

I went to install opera gx and found out I had to change settings first but it won't let me

:)

 

Windows weather app

Try to reset the app in settings under the apps list and finding weather then click advanced. There should now be an option to click reset.

if that doesn’t work you can try to find it in store and select repair

only other way tag has helped me in past is to use ccleaner to uninstall the app and then go to store and reinstall it

 

Missing "Apps & Features > Advanced option"

I recently recovered my windows 10 from the newest update as a lot of my apps are not compatible yet.

Then I realized that many of the windows built-in apps such as Maps, Photos are not working anymore. (They instantly close/crash)

I found a solution online:

1. Open the Start menu and click Settings.
2. Click Apps & Features.
3. Locate and click _______ from the Applications list.
4. Click Advanced option.
5. Select Reset

However, I don't have the advanced option displayed when I choose an app (any app, including functional ones)

Is there a way to fix this? or do I have to "reset this PC"?

 

No ' Choose where to get apps' option on Windows 11

In Windows 11, the option to "Choose where to get apps" has been relocated to a different section in the settings. Here's how you can access it:

1. Open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows icon in the taskbar.
   
2. Click on the "Settings" icon, which resembles a gear and is located above the Power button.
   
3. In the Settings window, click on "Apps" in the left-hand menu.
   
4. On the right-hand side, click on "Apps & features."
   
5. Scroll down and click on the "Advanced options" link under the list of installed apps.
   
6. In the Advanced options, you should see the "Choose where to get apps" section, which allows you to select the source for installing apps. By default, it is set to the Microsoft Store.
   

If you're not seeing the "Choose where to get apps" option in the Advanced options section, it's possible that your Windows 11 installation or specific settings might be causing this issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is up to date. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any available updates. Install any pending updates and restart your computer if necessary.
   
2. Check for any pending driver updates for your HP laptop. Visit the HP support website or use HP's support assistant software to check for and install any available driver updates.
   
3. If you're still not seeing the option, you can try running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter to identify and fix any issues related to the Microsoft Store. To do this, go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters. Look for "Windows Store Apps" and click on it to run the troubleshooter.
   
4. Consider reinstalling the AVG security application. If the issue persists, it may be worth uninstalling and reinstalling the AVG security software to ensure a proper installation.
   

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to HP support or the support team of the AVG security application for further assistance. They will have access to specific troubleshooting steps and can provide guidance tailored to your situation.

Please note that Windows 11 is a relatively new operating system, and certain functionalities and settings may vary or undergo changes through updates. It's always a good idea to consult the latest documentation or seek support from the relevant software or hardware manufacturer when encountering specific issues.
