There are two methods using which we can use to solve the problem.

One is based on regedit and another is based on command..

Let's see how to do that..

1) Press Windows + R -> Type regedit - > Hit enter.

2) Navigate to following registry..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore..

If you have no Option named WindowsStore,then

3) Right Click on the Microsoft area

4) Select New - > Key.

5) Name it as WindowsStore.

6) Now,again right click on the right pane and Select Dword.

Note : You must select DWORD even you are using 64 bit edition of Windows 10.

7) Set its name as AutoDownload and its value data to 2.

8) Close the Window...

If you are using other builds(especially 10586) then the above mayn't work for you sometimes..

So,you need to follow the upcoming registry tweak...

9) Navigate to the following registry..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

10) Now,right click on the Windows folder and select New-> Key

name the key as CloudContent

and follow the remaining steps..

Create a new DWORD on the right pane and name it as DisableConsumerFeatures

Set its value data to 2 or 1.

2 will work in most cases..

If the above method seems hadn't worked in your Windows 10 Build 1607 anniversary Update edition,

then try these steps..

11) Press Windows + R - > type Secpol.msc

12) Select Application Control Policies

13) Expand Applocker on left pane.

15) Now,on your right pane,right click and select "Create new rule"

17) Select Permissions tab.

18) On the right pane,you can find Action button select Deny on that and click Next.
