I don't think getting instagram, or photoshop off the microsoft store is giving anyone a virus. And I've never gotten a virus from it in the few times I've used it.
Yes, I read that. A couple thousand people out of billions of users were affected, and the problem was resolved. It's really not as big of an issue as you're making it out to be.
Yeah but it's awful, and can only install UWP apps which are just plain bad
When is the last time you've used it? Microsoft opened it up and now you can find all types of non UWP apps in it.
Still ass though.
Just install/update App Installer and use winget.
Most of them are, but there are non UWP apps on there too.
Sure, but pretty much every common application most people use is available, which is fine for the majority of people such as OPs mom.

I can't even get the fuckin' thing to open half the time. There's no way in hell I'm using that buggy piece of shit to install important software.
What crap machine are you running? I can open the store on my Surface 3 I've had for nearly a decade.
It can break if you disable telemetry.
I suspect that's what happened to me.
