I have search for this menu to enable an upload that is not a verified MS app. I need to change the settings but everywhere I search, I cannot find it.

So frustrating that I can't download any apps to run.

    If you see the installed apps on the top of the settings list in apps that is apps and features but it is called installed apps because most likely Microsoft changed the name in one of the updates.

    One has to edit the REGISTRY(!) in order to download non-Microsoft "verified" apps? Has MS not yet learned what happens when it practices monopolistic behavior? (Oh, and BTW, regedit itself is not a Microsoft "verified" app. Jeez!)

    Hi - I just was able to turn off S mode on my new laptop. I went to file explorer and typed regedit in the bar, it prompted me to go to a site and I was able to turn off S mode. It is off now and I am able to install apps not from the store. Choose where to get apps now appears in Apps > Advanced App Settings and it is set to Anywhere!!

    I'm also having the same issue. Let's try and sort this out. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3. It's brand new. I also have all of the latest Windows updates. What type of machines are y'all using, and have you installed the latest updates?

    I am having the same problem as the OP but none of the suggested answers has rectified the fault.

    It's so frustrating I've wasted hours going round in circles.

    Please help.
