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.

    It took me over 2 hours of frustration and practically having a temper tantrum to figure it out. I had to switch off the S mode. Went into settings, searched for S mode and it directed me to the app store to switch it off. Once switched off, it is permanent, which is fine by me as long as I can download EA and other apps that I use. Good luck!

    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.

    This is yet ANOTHER very annoying thing about Windows 11, that almost all workarounds of any kind provided online are requiring you to access places that have been for some reason removed....

    I have been trying to find some way to uninstall Outlook from my computer, without having to remove my entire Office suite, and every solution I have come across tells me to open Settings>Apps>Apps & Features, but there is no Apps & Features there anywhere to open.

    As such, there appears to be no way for me to get rid of this very intrusive Outlook, that keeps randomly opening itself whenever I login to Windows, without having to completely uninstall Ms Office.

    I do not want to have to completely reprogram my operating system, to get rid of this nuisance, and would like to know what is the substitute for Apps & Features provided in Windows 11 please??

    Thanks in advance!!

    Addendum:

    Although, I would still like to know the answer to this, I have managed to figure out what was causing the Outlook opening when I log into Windows....

    It was stupid really, I was accidentally clicking on the wealth of redundant bubbles on the login page.

    Still, I would like to know how to get to the Apps & Features tab in Settings>Apps!!

    No, my problem is that I was in S mode and the Apps & Features were blocked. After switching out, I was able to see Apps & Features. All good now but thanks for the reply.
