Lately - probably since an update - I've been getting a nag screen in Windows 10 whenever I download an app from an outside source. I find this annoying and would like to stop it. I've searched and found conflicting information. I even found a suggestion to enter "GPEDIT.MSC" from the start screen; however when doing so I get a message saying it is not found.
Has anyone removed the Microsoft Store nag window successfully? Care to share your secrets? . . . or a link to instructions that work?

Re: Microsoft Store Nag Window
Select Start > Settings > Privacy.
Scroll down the list of subjects in the left hand pane and select 'Background apps'.
In the list of apps, slide 'Microsoft Store' to Off.

Re: Microsoft Store Nag Window
gpedit.msc is the Group Policy Editor. This is available in Windows 10 Pro, but not with the home edition.
For your main question, have a look at this dropdown box in Settings - Apps.

Re: Microsoft Store Nag Window
Thank you both, Hans and Stuart!
I was very confused by the gpedit.msc. It was mentioned as being a pro edition feature in the article I read.
I was able to remove it following Hans' directions.
Again,
