Re: "You'll need a new app" Store Content Download Error; Windows 10

@angryhealer  Did you restart the computer after you set the default program - it looks right. After reboot check to see if it is still set correctly. Do you have Adaware or a third party antivirus installed?

  • I did restart my PC after applying the changes; the download still did not work. I have not checked to see if the file/program reverted; I won't be able to do that for another 7 hours.

    And no; I disabled my antivirus because it was throttling the downloads through Origin and haven't re-enabled it yet. I have no extensions applied to Microsoft Edge. I have ublock on Chrome.
  • @roberta591It's not an installation problem at all; it's a download problem. I can't download the store content because windows 10 isn't recognizing the Sims3 launcher as the app it needs to use.

    Nevermind. It's not a resolution, but it's a solution. Somebody in the other thread mentioned the "Downloads Dashboard" in-game. It'll take a while, but I'll just download and install through there.
