Windows 11 might attempt to block “3rd party” software installations. If you receive a pop-up window directing you to the Microsoft Store but want to proceed with the software installation, follow these steps.
-
Go to Settings
-
Click on Apps
-
Find and click on Advanced Apps (or Apps & Features)
-
Click on the dropdown menu and select “Anywhere.”

This will allow the machine to proceed with the installation as you have removed the limiting rule of only allowing apps from the Microsoft Store.
