Grayham Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Hi, New to this forum but I have just downloaded the latest version of both Designer and Publisher which I am trying to get to grips with after learning Page Plus etc.. A window appeared saying that the apps were not Microsoft Approved and wanted me to go to the App shop to buy one! I clicked on 'Load anyway' but it is a glitch of some sort. Quote

I haven't seen this dialogue, however I suspect it's possibly due to a setting in Windows settings. If it is, you should be able to disable this setting by going to [Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & features] and setting the 'Choose where to get apps' dropdown to 'Anywhere'. Quote

That mode restricts you to using the Windows Store to install applications, from what I've read.

Grayham Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 No, this was on a Windows 10 desktop. Really not happy with this after many years using Serif 8 programs. Quote
Staff Lee D Posted June 12, 2019 Staff Posted June 12, 2019 @Grayham have you checked the setting suggested by @- S - Are these the 1.7 versions of Affinity Photo and Designer you're installing and where did you purchase them from? Quote
Grayham Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 Purchased direct from Serif over the phone. Quote
