My company blocked the Microsoft store. But I convinced the IT guy to make me an admin on my machine so I can install anything I want. I still can't unblock the Microsoft store and no one I can talk to in IT knows how to unblock it. So I have to spend time finding websites that have the software I need (like nugget package explorer or other Microsoft apps that IT doesn't officially support) and hope that the download doesn't kill me.
Fyi you can download and install Microsoft Store programs without using the store directly, but still from the official source.
Here's a guide
People use the Microsoft store? I moved to chocolatey and if it's not there install things like it's windows 98.
All people I know only use it to install eartrumpet
Check if they also blocked winget
