Thanks for your replies guys. I didn't want to check 'trust now' because of the suspicions Norton gave me. I don't use uTorrent very often and apparently the problem was resolved automatically with the latest update of the program (3.4.2). If you're using Peer 2 Peer software such as uTorrent, BitTorrent or similar you must either fully uninstall them or completely disable them from running while being assisted here.Failure to remove or disable such software will result in your topic being closed and no further assistance being provided.If you have illegal/cracked software, cracks, keygens etc. On the system, please remove.

Are you getting the You can only install apps from the Windows Store message on your Windows 10 computer when trying to install a downloaded application?
Well! You got this message when installing an application outside the Windows Store onto your computer. Since the Creators Update, your Windows 10 PC will prevent all apps that you download from outside Windows Store from installing.
This limited installation will help to keep your computer safe and reliable. However, you don’t need to worry as this isn’t a permanent restriction. It’s just a feature with options, which you can quickly adjust.
If you have used a Mac before, you will know this feature is similar to Gatekeeper in macOS. In Windows 10, this feature is enabled by default.
You can change or turn off this restriction by accessing the Settings app. Go to System -> Apps and features.
Then switch from the current option to other ones. There are three options you can select:
By changing from the “Allow apps from the Store only” option to the “Allow apps from anywhere“, or “Prefer apps from the Store, but allow apps from anywhere“, the restriction will be disabled.
You will be able to install any downloaded apps without getting the You can only install apps from the Windows Store message.
Many users think this feature is annoying. However, it helps to make your computer safe and gets rid of unauthorized application installations.
In my opinion, I would recommend enabling this feature on your Windows 10 PC to block installing apps from outside the Store.
You only need to turn it off when you need to. All third-party apps that are already installed on your PC will still work fine, without any issues. This feature only prevents apps from installing, not from running.
I know that this feature won’t help your PC be completely safe. However, that’s better than nothing, right?
If you have a Windows 10 PC running Windows 10 S (such as a Surface Laptop), you may notice that it won't install apps from outside the Microsoft Store. Don't worry—that's the way we designed it.
By exclusively running apps from the Microsoft Store, Windows 10 S helps keep your PC running fast and secure and provides peace of mind by removing the risks that come with downloading apps from other places.
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser on Windows 10 S, and Bing is the default search engine in Microsoft Edge. You can install any browser available in the Microsoft Store and browse to any other search engine website.
If you want to install a browser (or any other app) not in the Microsoft Store, you'll need to switch to Windows 10 Pro.
Try checking with an app's publisher for the latest info on when that app is coming to the Microsoft Store.
If you need the app right away, you'll need to switch to Windows 10 Pro to install it.
