It sounds to me like you have a notebook that comes with Windows in S-Mode.

 

You can only run programs that you can get from the Micrsoft Store with the S-Mode version of Windows.

 

In order to install programs not found at the Microsoft Store, you will need to switch out of S-Mode to the regular version of Windows.

 

See this link for how to do that...
