  1. Why won't my computer let me switch between apps?


    So I just recently built my first gaming pc it has a ryzen 5 5600x, an rtx 3060, 32 gigs of ddr4 ram, msi mag b550 tomahawk max wifi motherboard, 2 tb crucial m.2 and I decided to install windows 11 pro. But for some odd reason my computer is not letting me switch between apps. what I mean by that is my computer wont let me on click on anything else besides the window/app i am currently using. for example say I am just browsing the web on google chrome and i get a message on discord my computer wont let me switch to discord even if i have discord already open directly next to google chrome it

    :)

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

    In Settings in Store I set "Update apps automatically" to Off.

    When I go back in again it`s set back to On. Why won`t it stay switched Off?

    How do I get this stupid **** to DO WHAT I TELL IT and SWITCH OFF?

    What`s the point of having a Setting that you can`t Set?

  3. 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.

    Step 1: Run Windows app troubleshooter.

    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Command prompt(Admin)
      to open elevated Command prompt.

    • Type the following commands.

    • Hit enter, the blackscreen will appear still for a couple of seconds. After a couple of second a new line saying C:\.... will appear.

    • Close Command Prompt.
