Is it true that Windows will allow only apps from the store, similar to android's play store?
I am having that trouble.
 
While it is true that some apps need to be installed from the Windows Store, I can go to a download page on the web, to install certain apps I want to have.
For instance, I downloaded and installed Revo Uninstaller from HERE
Some apps are not available from the Windows Store, in which case I go to the programmer's website.
In any case, always be careful where you download from as there a lot of unsafe sites out there.
 
I must have a setting wrong as I am warned not to install any 3rd party. I wish I could be more informative but I cannot remember the exact wording. It appeared in the notification area. The attempts were ClipClip and two others.
I usually right click and let MBAM scan before installing.
I used to use Revo but whenever I use it or the Windows part of Ccleaner I ended up with a dropped file so I leave the miniscule amount in the registry.
