How to Fix The App You’re Trying to Install Isn’t a Microsoft Verified App

Are you facing issues while trying to install an app that isn't verified by Microsoft? Don't worry, we've got you covered! In this blog post, we will guide you through several methods to fix this problem and successfully install the app you desire. So, let's dive in and resolve this issue together!

Adjust Microsoft Store Settings

The first step is to adjust your Microsoft Store settings. By default, Microsoft Store only allows the installation of apps verified by Microsoft. However, you can change this setting to enable the installation of non-verified apps. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open Microsoft Store on your device.

2. Click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.

3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

4. Scroll down to the "App Permissions" section.

5. Toggle on the "Install apps from outside the Microsoft Store" option.

Adjusting these settings is crucial as it grants permission for the installation of non-verified apps, ensuring a smoother process.

Use Command Prompt to Install the Application

If adjusting the Microsoft Store settings didn't solve the issue, you can try installing the application using Command Prompt. Follow these steps:

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the Start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)."

2. In the Command Prompt window, navigate to the folder where the installation file is located using the "cd" command. For example, if the file is on your desktop, type "cd desktop" and hit Enter.

3. Once you're in the correct directory, type the command to install the application (usually "setup.exe" or "install.exe") and press Enter.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the application's installer.

5. If you encounter any errors or issues during the installation process, try troubleshooting by searching for the specific error code or message online.

Using Command Prompt can bypass certain restrictions and help you successfully install the app.

Turn Off App Recommendations via Group Policy or Registry Editor

Another method to fix the issue is by disabling app recommendations through Group Policy or the Registry Editor. Here's how you can do it:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type "gpedit.msc" and press Enter to open the Group Policy Editor.

3. Navigate to "User Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Start Menu and Taskbar."

4. Double-click on the "Disable all apps from the Windows Store" policy.

5. Select the "Enabled" option to disable app recommendations.

6. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

Alternatively, if you don't have access to Group Policy, you can make the same changes through the Registry Editor. Here's how:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

3. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager

4. Double-click on "SilentInstalledAppsEnabled" and change its value to "0."

5. Close the Registry Editor.

Disabling app recommendations can help create a smoother installation process by reducing potential conflicts.

Try Using CleanMyPC

If none of the above methods worked, you can try using CleanMyPC. CleanMyPC is a powerful optimization tool that can help fix various issues on your computer, including app installation problems. Here's how you can use CleanMyPC:

CleanMyPC can help resolve underlying system issues that might be causing the app installation problem.

Switch Out of Home S Mode

If you're using Windows 10 in Home S Mode, switching out of it may solve the app installation problem. Home S Mode restricts the installation of apps to only those available in the Microsoft Store. Here's how you can switch out of Home S Mode:

1. Open the Microsoft Store on your device.

2. Search for "Switch out of S Mode" in the store and select the appropriate app.

3. Click on the "Get" or "Install" button to download and install the app.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the app to switch out of Home S Mode.

Switching out of Home S Mode expands your app installation options and may resolve the issue you're facing.
