For everyone. If u have windows 11 s mode, u just need to disable the ,,s mode". Go to settings>system>activation>go to the store link and then a page will pop up with a button ,,get". thats all
For anyone's information, the default is "Anywhere". It's likely certain OEMs setting this to any other option. And no, this isn't S mode. You can't change this in S mode. Windows 11 Pro build 22631.2428, clean installed in VMware, it sets "Choose where to get apps" to "Anywhere".
In my Windows 10 pro machine, I could not search for "store" or anything like that, i get instead "storage" related link. Getting very frustrated to get software installed without the "Microsoft Store" errot
Is Windows getting more Mac-like? And I ask that as a Mac-nerd. I do understand limiting where one can download apps is perhaps more secure, but annoying to users of 'un-verified' apps. Thanks, Leo, your videos help keep me updated on what's going on in Windows-land (and I use 'several' Win PCs for work).
I just bought an HP laptop with windows 11 and I did exactly what you said and when I searched “store” there was nothing that came up to change where my app comes from

If you have windows 11 S mode you have switch out of S mode just remember if you switch out you cant go back to S mode, in my case no biggie if I can't download software I use whats the point of having this laptop.
Too weird. I WOULD guess that all of my apps have been approved by Microsoft, but I know for a fact that a lot of what I use hasn't been approved (or probably even looked at) by MS. (I don't use anything from the app store; most of my apps come from the www at large.)
@ThatRandomToast It totally is. I think there was an optional update or a manufacturers update that enabled it. Most likely, a peripheral could have been an update for a solid state storage device. I don't think any of us would truly know. That was the only things that was the same between the 2 laptops and a desktop that had this issue.
My laptop doesn't have that option so how do i get around this, this is why i hate Microsoft, i got the laptop to run my guitar stuff on and i cant because of this bs

YOU’RE A LITERAL LIFEEE SAVERRR. OMG IVE SPEND HOURS TRYING TO FIX THIS SHIT 😂😂
A perfect example of the "stonewall until they give up" philosophy of commerce.

Windows 11 Pro build 22631.2428, clean installed in VMware, it sets "Choose where to get apps" to "Anywhere".
Same for my My Win11 Pro install, set to anywhere, not installed in vmware.
I can't choose where I get the app from.
It's not a setting.

No. They took the worst parts of Apple and Google while amplifying it by 10.
Thank you Sir. This has been frustrating me for some time. Great and easy to follow advise. Please keep it up.
Man, thank you very much!!! I was really stuck on this issue 🎉

1:47. In the settings on “Apps”, on my laptop (Windows 10) that option shows up directly, without having to search for "store".
Same here on my Windows 10 machine. Go to settings>apps and there at the top of the page is a drop down list for that option.
I am not getting the option to change that particular setting.
Me either
I just bought a new hp with windows 11 and i can't change mine either, help
But I don't have "choose where to get apps" on my computer
THANK YOU LEO
If you have windows 11 S mode you have switch out of S mode just remember if you switch out you cant go back to S mode, in my case no biggie if I can't download software I use whats the point of having this laptop.
Guys for those who still cant find the dropdown for options, switch user to admin, thats the only place you can change the options...
Thanks man, it was helpful.
you are the man! just saved ma an hour of frustration.
It's not an option
Does the setting show you an option to change because I’m not getting one either.
I don’t have that option to choose where to get appts from - guess they left it out on this computer
Thank you this helped a lot
Thank you!!
Im narrowing it down to having to switch out of S Mode
I have literally never seen that message. 🤷
I was having this issue a little bit ago. I was going to add more space on my laptop, so it went away.
I always see it, on both Win 10 machines....it is good to see how to get an option...

The setting is set to "Anywhere" on clean installs.
