The amazing Windows 11 MS Store loophole

So new windows 11 pc first time using win 11 my old pc had windows 10 and never such a dumb issue so as I understand it most apps in the ms store need ms store to be downloaded u can access a browser version of ms store through a browser like ms edge or oprea whatever but you cant download apps through the browser bc the browser download links just take you to the ms store app they dont actually download anything and I can find the ms store app download in the browser ms store however it just try's to take you to ms store which i dont have and so the fix that people say is to use powershell to get the app package using this command

-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} 

there are other similar commands that also didn't work

but from what I can see that isn't fixing the issue for anyone who has this issue would it be possible to just have ms store as a downloadable program i can download on the ms website not having it is really annoying im still trying to find a fix for this ive looked almost everywhere with similar solutions with the PowerShell that didnt work bc i think the program is failing to install or the PowerShell just isnt working if anyone knows a simple fix im all ears
