    Open the Settings App, then go to System - About, what edition (Home, Pro, S Mode) of Windows is installed on your PC?

    If Windows is in S Mode, to be able to install 3rd party software, you will need to switch out of S Mode to Windows 11 Home, it is free to do that.

    If Windows is not in S Mode. in the Settings App, go to Apps - Advanced App Settings, is there a drop down menu at the top of that settings page to decide where you can install software from and if so, is that set to 'Anywhere'?
