Windows 10: Microsoft Stop pops up for no reason.

Every time that I try to install a program by clicking on the setup.exe file, the Windows store pops up and asks me if I want to search the Microsoft Store for the app that I am trying to install. The strange thing is this only happens when I install a program, and never does it pop up any other time. Things done.Refresh the Microsoft Store cache file.Reinstalled the Microsoft store app.Did a cold reboot and a Safe Mode bootstill the same problem.Help please.Windows 11 64 bit64 gigs ram2 TB HDRyzen 5

How To Stop A Microsoft Pop-Up?

Hi Barman58,

OK, I found this page that looks a lot like the one you posted, but it only has "Share Across Devices" listed.





As you can see it's in the on position. Should I set it to the off position? This will not affect my Chrome Sync will it?

 

How To Stop A Microsoft Pop-Up?

OK, since I am not getting anymore replies, and those annoying pop ups from Microsoft are no longer appearing on my screen (even though my settings still show it), I am not going to cancel my Microsoft account because there are just too many warnings. So I am marking this thread as (sort of) solved since my original reason for posting this thread was to stop the Microsoft account pop ups on my monitor.

Thanks to all of you who offered your advice to this problem!
