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)

Actually, it turns out all I had to do was switch out of S mode but thank you for trying to help I really appreciated it! It's good to know that there are helpful people out there.
Yes thank you so much so helpful! If it wasn’t for you I would still be lost!!! Lol
What the hell is S mode.
theres 2 hours of my life wasted - still no progress
Setttings > Apps > Advanced App Settings - change first setting from "microsoft store"
and someone fix the links so it points to the right spot rather than just settings - !@#%!@$%!@$%@
This is a fast way to have nobody ever use your product. Quit trying to prevent people from doing what they want on the laptop that THEY BOUGHT AND OWN!!!
What is the S mode.
This is ridiculous, I still cannot get my printer running due to this issue. This shouldn't be so difficult. I sure do miss the old plug and play. The other issue is my new laptop doesn't have a disc drive so i can't use the disc.
