choose where to get apps

[Marianne361]

I want to choose where to get apps and select option of anywhere.  The PC is not showing this option under Settings>Apps>Apps & Features >choose where to get apps and select option of anywhere.  This is not shown and I want the ability to select my own apps not just microsoft.  How do I enable this functionality?

Sure - makes sense.

The simple how-to from Microsoft does not include a "what to do if" recommendation.

Change your app recommendation settings in Windows 

That said, the version of Windows 11 that I'm running shows the path differently from the document and from your example.

Note:  At this writing, running Windows 11 > Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621

Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings

Open > Choose where to get apps

Windows_11_Settings_Apps_Advanced-app-settings_Choose_1

What if?

You might want to try asking at the source of "Things that are Windows":
