Or chocolatey ;-).

The official installer from python.org somehow launches the microsoft store!?!?!? So I booted in an ntfs capable linux boot cd, and deleted python*.exe from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

When you encounter not being able to launch the Python, and instead opened the Microsoft Store, you should consider to rearrange the priority order of the paths. Make sure to put the *WindowsApps path below the python.exe path.
