Alexa is a popular could-based voice service available on over 100 million devices. However, many reported that Alexa for Windows 10 is not available.

We covered a similar subject in our Cortana isn’t available guide, but since this is a third-party application, the methods we’re going to use have to different, so let’s get started.

Why can’t I download Alexa on Windows?

  • It’s possible that the app isn’t available for your country yet.
  • Glitches and issues with Microsoft Store cache.
  • Date and time aren’t correct on your PC.

What can I do if Alexa for Windows 10 is not available?

1. Check for availability

  1. First thing you should do is check if the app is available in your country. Open the Microsoft Store and type Get Alexa in the search. Or simply go to Alexa Microsoft Store page.

  2. If the download page says Alexa is currently not available, it means the app is not available for your country yet.
  3. Follow the next step to download and install the app manually.

2. Download the Alexa app manually

  1. Go to the Alexa app page Copy the app URL from the address bar.
  2. Now go to Adguard Store’s official website.
  3. Paste in the link the address bar. Click the drop-down button next to the URL field and select Retail.
    Download Windows Store app manually
  4. Click on the Checkmark button.
  5. Now download both .appxbundle as well the .eappxbundle of the app by clicking on the link. (Refer the image for more).

This should help you install Alexa on your Windows 10 computer. If required, try to change the region on your computer to the US or UK to get it to work.
