I would recommended to use [Winget](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/) command tool.  
[Use the winget tool to install and manage applications | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/)

Use below command in powershell(Admin):

1. First go to update and security tab in settings, and in developer options ‘Enable Sideloading’.

2. You can copy any windows store app webpage from browser and paste in this website to get its package.  
[https://store.rg-adguard.net/](https://store.rg-adguard.net/)

3. Then open the downloaded file to install it. You can also use below command in powershell(Admin) to install the package.

```auto
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Path\to\File.Appx"

```
