Solved

Hello,

When I want to download software, I prefer not to install it via the Windows Store.

However... when I try to run it, a window opens and forces me to go through the Microsoft Store.

How can I bypass this? I don't have that option right now.

In other words, how can I circumvent the Microsoft Store?

Thank you in advance

    Hello,

    Your Windows is in S mode.

    Check here to see if it helps you:

      Hello fabul

      Thank you for your help.

      I thought it was the solution, except that... Windows says:

      The switch out of S mode is one-way. If you switch, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10 or Windows 11 in S mode. Switching out of S mode is free.

      1. On your PC running Windows 11 in S mode, open Settings > System > Activation. It says: "ACTIVE"

      2. In the Switch to Windows 11 Pro section, It says: already Windows 11 Pro
        select Go to Store. This does not appear
        (If you also see a section "Upgrade your Windows edition," be careful not to click on the link "Access the Store" that appears.)

        This third item does not appear either:

      3. On the Leave S mode page (or a similarly titled page) that displays in the Microsoft Store, select the Download button. Once a confirmation message appears on the page, you will be able to install apps from outside the Microsoft Store.

        For now, I'm stuck.

        Thank you anyway

        Hi again, fabul.

        I just tried again.

        When I want to execute, in this case, Chromesetup,
        a window opens and, among other things, tells me "Change my app recommendation settings".

        When I click on it, it opens the installed applications window (which can also be found by going through
        "settings and applications".
        After that, I don't see what else I should do?

        Thank you in advance.
