How to install apps without Network Admin account?

My company's PC is set to need a network admin account to install local apps.

Is there any way to change it to LOCAL Admin instead?

Whatever I try it reads "The requested operation requires elevation".

    If you have local admin credentials, you should be able to enter them at that prompt.

    I understand how frustrating that can be, especially if you need to install apps for your work or personal use. However, it's important to note that company policies and security settings are put in place for a reason — to protect the network and data.

  • You might need to contact your IT admin to remove the applied policy setting.

    Or you can disconnect with network account, and login with local account to install apps without restriction.
