In my case this solution wasn't working, I fixed it by right clicking "Windows security" in the start menu, "App settings" and then "Reset". Data is not really deleted, I still have all the protection history.

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.

2022-10-18T13:23:33+00:00 Hi there, I am having the same problem. I did what you suggested but there isn't a "SettingsPageVisibility" to right click on. Are there any other options? I really need to figure this out because I want to download the EA app and my computer will not let me because it's not from Microsoft. Help!!! Please and thank you!!

Good day! I'm John Dev a Windows user like you and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.
Open Registry Editor then navigate to this path

Please check if "SettingsPageVisibility" string value is present in the right pane. If so, right click it then select Delete. Restart your computer
Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.
