Windows 10中的应用程序安装功能允许您选择可以安装应用程序的位置。对于某些Windows 10设备，该功能配置为推荐设置 -仅限Microsoft Store。在其他情况下，该选项显示为灰色，从而阻止用户将功能更改为所需的设置。如果您发现“选择获取应用程序的位置”^{(Choose where to get apps )}选项在Windows 10 设置^(Settings)中呈灰色显示，请遵循这些建议。

选择应用程序选项灰显的位置

Microsoft主要提供 4 个位置来存储您想要的应用程序，其中包括，

任何地方^(Anywhere)（安装^(Installs)桌面^(Desktop)和商店^(Store)应用程序而不显示消息对话框）。
任何地方，但如果Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}中有类似的应用程序，请告诉我。
任何地方，但在安装不是来自Microsoft Store的应用程序之前警告我。
仅限Microsoft Store^{(Microsoft Store)}（顾名思义，仅允许应用商店^(Store)中可用的应用程序）。

如果设置显示为灰色，则没有任何选项可见。尝试使用组策略编辑器^{(Group Policy Editor)}或注册表编辑器^{(Registry Editor)}按照下面给出的说明进行修复：

打开组策略编辑器。
转到Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender SmartScreen > Explorer。
选择配置应用安装控制。^{(Configure App Install Control.)}
检查该选项是否设置为Enabled。
将其更改为未配置^{(Not Configured)}。

在开始之前，请记住先创建系统还原点。

使用组策略编辑器

打开组策略编辑器并按如下方式导航 -

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender SmartScreen > Explorer.

本地组策略编辑器

在右窗格中查找以下条目 – Configure App Install Control。

如果该条目的值设置为Enabled，请将其更改为Not Configured。

单击确定并退出。

使用注册表编辑器

如果您使用的是Windows 10 家庭版^(Home)，则无法访问组策略编辑器^{(Group Policy Editor)}。因此，作为一种解决方法，您可以使用注册表编辑器进行所需的更改。

打开注册表编辑器^{(Registry Editor)}并转到以下路径位置 -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\SmartScreen

删除注册表编辑器条目

在右侧窗格中，查找以下 DWORD：

配置AppInstallControl
配置AppInstallControlEnabled

要解决此问题，只需删除这两个条目并关闭注册表编辑器^{(Registry Editor)}。

重新启动您的电脑。

这应该可以解决问题。

Choose where to get apps option grayed out in Windows 10 Settings

An application instаllation feature in Windows 10 allows you to choose a location where apps can be installed. For some Windows 10 deviсes, the feаture is configured to the recommended setting – Τhe Microsoft Store only. In оther cases, the option is greyed out, preventing users from chаnging the feature to the desired sеtting. Follow these suggestions if уou find that the Choose where to get apps option is grayed out in Windows 10 Settings.

Choose where to get apps option grayed out

Microsoft mainly offers 4 locations to store your desired apps, These include,

Anywhere (Installs both, Desktop and Store apps without displaying a message dialog).
Anywhere, but let me know if there’s a comparable app in the Microsoft Store.
Anywhere, but warn me before installing an app that’s not from the Microsoft Store.
The Microsoft Store only (As the name suggests, only apps available in the Store will be allowed).

If the setting is greyed out, none of the options are visible. Try fixing it by following the instructions given below using Group Policy Editor or Registry Editor:

Open Group Policy Editor.
Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender SmartScreen > Explorer.
Choose Configure App Install Control.
Check if the option is set to Enabled.
Change it to Not Configured.

Before you begin, remember to create a system restore point first.

Using Group Policy Editor

Open Group Policy Editor and navigate as follows –

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender SmartScreen > Explorer.

Local Group Policy Editor

In the right pane look for the following entry – Configure App Install Control.

If the value for the entry is set to Enabled, change it to Not Configured.

Click OK and exit.

Using Registry Editor

If you are using Windows 10 Home, you cannot access the Group Policy Editor. So, as a workaround, you can use Registry Editor to make the desired changes.

Open the Registry Editor and go to the following path location –

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\SmartScreen

delete registry editor entries

In the right-side pane, look for the following DWORDs:

ConfigureAppInstallControl
ConfigureAppInstallControlEnabled

To fix the problem, simply delete both entries and close the Registry Editor.

Restart your PC.

This should fix the problem.
