3. Select "TikTok - Make Your Day" from the search results.

- Open TikTok
1. Once the app is installed, click on the "Open" button.
2. The app will open automatically.
- Log in to Your TikTok Account
1. Click on the "Me" icon in the lower right corner of the app.
2. Click on "Sign Up" or "Log In" if you already have an account.
3. Enter your TikTok username and password and click on "Log In."
- Note on Using the App After Downloading
After downloading TikTok from the Microsoft Store, you can use it just like the mobile app. You can browse through videos, create your own content, and interact with other users.
Encountering the "Page not available" error on TikTok can be frustrating, but it doesn't have to ruin your browsing or creating experience. By clearing your browser's cookies and site data or downloading TikTok from the Microsoft Store, you can fix the error and continue using the platform. Try these fixes the next time you encounter the error and see which one works best for you.
