Fix "Apps are currently unavailable" in Microsoft Store

How to fix apps isn't currently available in the Microsoft Store

You can download or purchase apps specifically for Windows devices from the Microsoft Store. Any application or program available is guaranteed to be safe to use as it is uploaded directly from the original provider.

Just like the Play Store or the Apps Store on a mobile phone, an app sometimes has its own country restrictions. So if it is opened via a country that is not included, it will receive a notification “This app is currently unavailable“And of course cannot be downloaded.

If you get this notification too, it’s a sign of the app not available for Indonesia. But there is a little trick to downloading it and it’s very easy even without the need to use a VPN.

Overcoming apps that are not currently available in the Microsoft Store

All you have to do is change the region on the computer to the country for which the application is destined. One example is the application Napster and TIDE which is destined for America, so I’m going to change the region from Indonesia to America. Here is how.

  1. Please go to Windows settings.

  2. Click on the menu Time & language.

    Click on Time & Language menu

  3. Then go to the tab region.

    Click the Region tab

  4. And sit Country or region be the required status for the application.

    Fix Apps is currently not available in the Microsoft Store

After it’s set up, you can try opening the Microsoft Store again and going to the page of the application that you want to download earlier. The download button can certainly appear now. And you can download it directly without changing the IP address.

You can also change the region back to Indonesia after installing the application. Application will stay installed and nothing changes about that. Unless the application requires an IP for a particular country, you’ll need to use a VPN to use it.

Do I need a VPN?

If you’re just downloading apps from the Microsoft Store, you don’t need a VPN. However, a VPN may only be required if the app is blocking internet access in a country other than the one you want.

In my opinion, the role of the VPN is actually still needed to just in case only. There are tons of free VPN programs that you can download from the Microsoft Store. Please use one of them.

Hopefully useful and good luck
