I am having lots of trouble with my app recommendations, whenever I try to open up a certain app (Discord, Steam, Roblox Studios, Etc.) it says I need to change my app recommendations or use apps from the Microsoft store. When I click on that link it gives saying 'Change My app recommendations' It takes me to settings in the apps category under 'installed apps' but there is nothing in there that says that I can change the recommendations. I have continuously searched the web, and the same thing comes up every time (Click start, go to settings, click on 'apps' and find the installed apps section, finally choose where to get apps). I even have looked at screenshots where it shows something saying 'choose where to get apps' but there is actually nothing there that says that for me. I don't understand if this is a bug, or if something is just wrong with my settings. I was wondering if someone could look into it, and if I need to show evidence I can. This is very annoying for me. All I ask for is some help and Thank You! (My version is i3 and it is a HP 14 Laptop 30J32AV)

what is an admin account
I'm having the same issue with my laptop. How can fix it
Hi Kyle,
For Me the way I fixed this is by using an admin account and following the same steps that's the only way I saw it. ON my non-admin account it doesn't show up. So after your in the admin account go to apps, then advanced app settings, then you should see it like in all the screenshots.
I hope this helps,
Just use this link . Switching out of S mode in Windows - Microsoft Support
Windows 11 in S mode is designed for security and performance, exclusively running apps from the Microsoft Store. If you want to install an app that isn't available in the Microsoft Store, you'll need to switch out of S mode.
Windows 11 in S mode is only available in the Windows 11 Home edition. If you have the Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions of Windows 10 in S mode, Windows Update will not offer Windows 11 because S mode is not available in those editions of Windows 11. Therefore, if you have the Pro, Enterprise or Education editions of Windows 10 in S mode, you'll need to switch out of S mode to upgrade to Windows 11.
Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you make the switch, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10 or Windows 11 in S mode. There's no charge to switch out of S mode.
Switch out of S Mode
