Hi,

I am trying to download the GroupMe app for my PC (win 10, 2004) in the new Edge browser but it does not work.

When I hit the "Get" button I see a message that "This site is trying to to open URL: ms-windows-store". When I click on open, the message disappears and nothing happens.

What is going on here?

Thanks,

Ed

It repairs the windows store app. See if you can open the Windows Store now from Start menu and install GroupMe.

    OK, it's there now but, as before, access denied.

    It wants a user name and password, which I don't have.

    The reason you are not seeing the WindowsApps folder is because it is hidden. You need to un-hide it (in explorer select View > check box for Hidden items). That said, if you see it on your PC, then it is installed. Android apps will not install on a Windows PC, they are not compatible with the Windows platform (outside of using an emulator).

    The C:\Program Files\ WindowsApps folder does not exist, sorry.

    However, I see it under the Start Menu. When I attempt to start it, it wants to verify something by sending a text message to my mobile phone, which is not possible. That led me to believe I have an Android version installed.

    Thanks again for your continued support. I really did not expect that on a holiday.

    You should see it in your Start menu under Recently added (at the top). Otherwise type "GroupMe" into the Start menu to see if it resolves to the app. If you are doing this on a Windows 10 PC, then it will download the Windows 10 App, not the mobile version.

    To confirm it downloaded and installed, go to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and you should see a series of folders named Microsoft.GroupMe10_... which would indicate it is installed.
