Can't Change App Recommendation Settings in Windows

Option 1: Use Group Policy Editor
(This works only on Windows Pro or higher editions — not available in Windows Home)

1. Press Windows + Q and search for Local Group Policy Editor (Edit Group Policy).
2. Go to:

3. Find and double-click Configure App Install Control on the right side. Set it to Enabled, then choose anywhere from the dropdown list. Click Apply and then OK.
4. Restart your computer or run CMD as an administrator and type gpupdate /force, then check Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings again.


🛠️ Option 2: Use the Registry (For Windows Home Users)
⚠️ This method is more advanced  please follow carefully and make a backup first.

1. Right-click on your desktop and select New > Text Document.
2. Paste this code into the file:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"AicEnabled"="Anywhere"

3. Save the file as FixAppSetting.reg (change the extension from .txt to .reg).
4. Double-click the file and confirm when asked to add it to the registry.
5. Restart your computer and see if the setting appears under Apps.
