What does developer mode do? Windows 11 developer mode lets you install apps from any source, including loose files. This means that you can install Windows Store apps that aren’t published on the Windows Store and don’t even have a certificate. Developer mode also grants you some additional testing and debugging tools for apps, and some optimization options for Windows Explorer, Remote Desktop, and PowerShell. For obvious reasons, we don’t recommend enabling developer mode unless you have a legitimate reason to. Installing unsigned applications from random sources is a good way to end up with malware. If you’re creating an app, however, you know that the application you created is not malicious and can use developer mode to test it without having to publish it on the Microsoft Store or get it signed. There may be some cases where you can also consider using developer mode to install uncertified apps. Essentially, when you trust the creator. For example, you used to have to enable developer mode to use the Ubuntu Shell in Windows 10 (thankfully this is no longer necessary). With that said, we’re going to show you how to turn on developer mode using the settings app and Registry Editor. Of course, we’ll also tell you how to turn it off again – which we recommend once you’re finished with whatever you’re doing. We’ll also be explaining how to enable or disable developer mode. Though it sounds the same, this is actually different – disabling developer mode turns off the ability to turn it on via other methods.
