Description

Your FAQ and Docs suck

Current version:
Windows 10 - 2h22
iOS - 16.3

after several hours of looking through documentation, reddit threads, microsoft and apple support, I managed to install altstore.

  1. install Media Features in from Win+R -> optionalfeatures.exe
  2. Install windows media player from Win10 settings

  3. Download iCloud for Windows from AltStore FAQ
  4. iCloud should now install on your computer without the media feature errors missing.
  5. Install AltStore on iPhone from AltServer on windows
  6. Trust developer (if error on selecting altstore)
    • Navigate to Settings > General > Device Management.
    • Select the developer under the “ENTERPRISE APPS” section.
    • Press “Trust [Developer]“.
    • Select “Trust“.
  7. Altstore should now open on your iPhone.

Research direction

Start with the linked AltStore FAQ page and review its Windows installation instructions against the Media Features and Windows Media Player steps reported here. Update the relevant FAQ or documentation so the missing-media-feature workaround and subsequent trust steps are clear, then verify that the documented flow matches the reported Windows and iOS setup.
