Issue: Apps from the Windows Store do not work when I run a Freedom session. How do I fix this?
Note: We now have a non-proxy mode that should bypass these issues. For more information on that, please see Non-Proxy Mode for Mac and Windows.
If Microsoft Office, OneNote, or other Windows store applications are not working, please do the following:
- Click on start icon, and then click search (top right).
- Search for "Change Proxy Settings" and click the result
- Make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is enabled.
