Windows 10: Unable to download/install apps after windows 11 update

Since updating to windows 11 I have been unable to download any applications from the Microsoft store as it gives an error and says "not connected to the internet". Now it is also preventing me downloading or using software from Adobe, again given the error "offline" "can't connect to servers".How can I fix this...

Windows Defender Blocking Installations of Downloaded Apps

Hi Craig,

There's a possibility that the SmartScreen option is on that's why you're unable to install downloaded apps. Let's try to turn it off and see if it helps. See the steps below:

• Open Windows Defender Security Center from your Start menu, desktop, or taskbar.
• Click on the App and browser control button on the left side of the window.
• Click on Off in the Check apps and files section.

Let us know if the suggestion helps you out.
