is the PC on a Domain?
are there Group Policies in place?
have you installed and ran any tweaking programs - like O&O's ShutUp10 can have this effect?
have you created and tried from another Admin account to see if it is still there?
log into the PC with a username name of PC name\administrator account userid and see how you go.

From the sounds of it S mode setting have been activated.
Windows 10 in S mode is a version of Windows 10 that's streamlined for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from the Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing.
You can check whether you’re using S Mode by going to Settings
Then System
Select About
On the About page, scroll down to the “Windows Specifications” section.
If you see the words “in S mode” to the right the Edition entry, you’re using an S Mode PC.
In order for this to be done it has to be done manually it is not something that just happens.

I dont think my pc is on a domain, i dont really know about group policies and if those are in place. i have not installed any programs without steam, google, discord, ts3 and just the basic.
to check for a Domain, go to Control Panel, System, 3rd group down in the Computer name, domain and workgroup settings section, if it says Workgroup: WORKGROUP then you aren't part of a domain.
where did the PC come from; retail shop, home, business, 2nd hand, custom built etc?
right click the Start button, click Command Prompt (Admin), does it ask for a password to be entered?
did you try logging on as another user?

You can download the installed to another system and manually transfer the installer via a USB storage device.
Then run the installed on the affected system
