If you're running Windows 10 or Windows 11 on your PC, you might get one of these "the app you're trying to install isn't a Microsoft-verified app" messages:

What does this mean? It simply means the app came from somewhere other than the Microsoft Store. Our installers are digitally signed using Microsoft's Authenticode technology, so you know they really are from us. 

What to do

I have an Install anyway button

If you see this message, simply click the "Install anyway" button, and the install should proceed. 

I do not have an Install anyway button

1. Tap Start, then Settings, then select Apps
2. On the Apps & Features settings panel,  find Choose where to get apps and change the setting to something other than The Microsoft Store only, since this option is the most restrictive

I do not want to see this Microsoft Store message again

If you don't want to be bothered by this message again, then:

1. Tap Start, then Settings, then select Apps
2. On the Apps & Features settings panel,  find Choose where to get apps and change the setting to Anywhere
