    I have actually solved it! yes little old me!!!!

    So go to your download folder where the app is and right click, go to properties.

    Under 'General' go to the bottom where it says Security and click on the 'unblock' button, then apply and ok.

    Continue through any pop ups and bobs your uncle you're in!!! <3<3 this was also driving me utterly bonkers as to why i couldn't download adobe illustrator!!!!!!!

    Hope this helps at least one other person!

    David,

    I am having this same issue. I followed step 1 above, but here is not an option for "Choose where to get apps"

    There is:

    Share across devices

    App execution aliases

    Archive apps

    Related settings

    Uninstall updates

    How to install a program

    Hi AveryDS.

    I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    In the latest version of Windows 11, this setting has been changed to another place. See the steps below.

    1. Press "Windows + I" and select "Apps > Advanced app settings";
    2. Under "Choose where to get apps", change the selection to the desired one.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.

    What exactly are you trying to change?

    Apps & Features is Add/Remove dialogue
