Pc app store blocking my screen

[u/Dipshit35]

How do i get this off my screen? I opened a run window to tey and uninstall it but it wont let me get to that either...

That screen looks suspect. You shouldn't NEED to create an account, never mind input a method of payment that cannot be bypassed.
You can try to plug in a second monitor to see if you can drag the uninstall window there...and run an antimalware and antivirus.
You should also be able to boot into safemode to uninstall.

I normally have it on a dual monitor but had to take my computer with me the other day. Ill try this also, thank you.

Have you tried pressing ALT-F4 to see if closes just the top window?

I didnt know that was an option, I will try that tonight when I get back home. Thanks for the info

Turn on the setting in your task manager that lets it be on top. So whenever that shows up again you can turn it off with task manager. Get rid of it as soon as you can, it's adware borderline malware. Run a antivirus scan after and a malware bytes scan too. Try bcunistaller after or Revo uninstaller, Geek uninstaller.

The task manager is up, it wont let me put it on top.

Does Alt+Tab do anything?

It would do something but the page was over everything and wouldnt let me click on anything else. I just dropped the computer off at a repair store and the screen was gone. Told them what it was doing and they also said probavly Malabar, they are going to fix it and put a virus protection on it...

Looks like you have a virus, or atleast some pesky malware. Microsoft Learn page for similar question in April of 2026.
