Windows store games blocked due to company policy

Hello,

I can't seem to install games I've purchased on the Windows Store like Forza or Killer instinct. I get an error "This App has been blocked due to company policy" This is my personal computer and I am signed into an admin account. I've tried all the suggestions

grateful.

Thank you!
