Hello, I cannot install my F-Secure Total on Windows 11 PC although I have a valid subscription

I always get the info: "the app you try to install is not proven by Microsoft"

Hello @Salzdoc

Windows S-mode is designed to run applications only in the Microsoft store. Follow the guide in the link to disable the Windows S-mode then proceed to install the program.

Please do note that once you switch off S-mode you can not revert back.

You can try below setting and looks if it help:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Apps.
3. Click on Apps & features.
4. Under Installing apps, select the Choose where to get apps drop-down menu.
5. Select "Anywhere". This will allow you to install apps from any source, including the Microsoft Store, the internet, and other devices.

🤠

banzai!

Thank you for your hint.

It was not possible to install the software. It's probably because Windows 11 Home S is installed, that blocks the installation?

Looking forward to new comments

Thank you very much marmab for the useful answer. Nevertheless I won't leave the Windows S-mode, because it's only the "travel laptop" and I don't store sensible data.

Best regards
