Windows 10: Sideloading Greyed out

I wanted to update my creative cloud but it said a error had occurred, so I went to cloud trouble shooting site and it side I had to go to the ''For developers'' options in my windows setting when I went there I was meet with greyed out boxes and a red notification say my organisation has prevented me from accessing these setting, even though this is a personal computer I had bought myself maybe it's might be because I'm still paying it off monthly, but I would appreciate it if anyone could give me advice on how to solve this. ​

Sideloading on Windows phone 10

Hi,

Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

In Windows 10, sideloading is different than in earlier versions of Windows:

• 
  You can unlock a device for sideloading using an enterprise policy, or through
  Settings
  
• 
  License keys are not required
  
• 
  Devices do not have to be joined to a domain

How to Enable "Sideload Apps" Option

I have an issue where I am trying to enable "Sideload apps" in the developer features. These developer features are greyed out because apparently the settings are managed by an organization. This is not true as this is my own PC and I am the only user. I
am using Windows 10 Home, version 1909, OS Build 18363.836. I have seen many answers online that suggest changing key values with gpedit.msc, but I believe this is only available on Windows 10 Pro, not Home.





I did a bit of research in the Microsoft community and found an answer that suggested using the Registry Editor. I went to the following registry keys:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock

In there, I already had a "AllowAllTrustedApps" key set to 1, and I also added a new key "AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense" set to 0.





After restarting my PC, Microsoft Store Apps, instead of Sideloading Apps, was still selected.

Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Or any other suggestions about how to enable Sideloading?

 

Installing Sideloaded Apps

Don,



Thank you for your suggestion - after rebooting the phone, Store recognized the XAP file located on the SD card and gave that as an option for installation.



The other contributors are also correct - sideloading does not give one the opportunity to load Apps which are not applicable for the phone (such as a Nokia App on a Samsung device) or that are not released in your region. It's too bad, there are some great
Apps out there that aren't open to all devices/all regions.



Thank you all.
