Any chance we can get the latest version for windows without windows store?

Hi there

I'd be very appreciative if there's any way to get the windows desktop exe that I can install myself, outside of the windows store ecosystem. i have already had to suffer the pain of having all my windows store apps break on me when something got corrupted in c:\windows\ somewhere and I wound up only being able to fix it through a major system flattening/reinstall. I'm very hesitant to use microsoft store/windows store again & i'd rather not use microsoft account and all that comes along with it if i dont have to.

thanks

+1 for this please. It's also a privacy concern since you have to sign in to a Microsoft account to use it.
