The2 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've just installed windows 8 and I created a new account for the Store - I carefully entered some valid UK address (I live in Croatia) and there are like 10 apps in the whole store? What's up with that? How does MS determine my Country? I have not entered any payment data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Set your region to UK or US and you'll see more apps I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcfan Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 go to control panel and set your region to US like Stoffel said. This will give you most of the apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Nokes Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just be aware that getting around Geofencing may cause you some serious issues down the line if you ever have a need to migrate an account to the correct region down the line. I recommend always having things on the account that you will want to use as your permanent account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The2 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ok, thanks..I just want to try some apps, then a temporary account will do. I hope that they will unlock apps for all regions.. did not have these problems on the App Store... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seketh Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It's not a region issue, it's the following setting: Windows Store - Settings - Preferences - Disable the option to only show apps in your language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
