Hi there!

It sounds like your computer might be in "safe" mode. When you check your Windows version does it say S at the end?

If this is your personal computer, please check out this thread on the Microsoft Forum for a similar issue. If this is NOT your computer or is a work computer please get with the owner or your IT department for help!

I hope this helps!

It's actually called "S mode"

S Mode FAQ

**Edit, seems we both referenced the same URL. 😀

Basic premise is this. This security feature only allows Microsoft certified apps and software to to installed on the target system. S Mode can be disabled.
