How do I download Minecraft without Microsoft store?

How do I download Minecraft without a Microsoft store? On the laptop I'm using, you cannot use Microsoft store (and I asked the administrators who said they won't unblock it). I saw some other posts about this topic, but the result, Minecraft.exe, needs you to be signed in on the Microsoft store app. How do I download it without needing this?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Microsoft Store

    Thank you, but after downloading it, it says "Minecraft is not currently available in your account. Please login to Microsoft store and try again."

    Hello Taseen,

    I am Jaspreet Singh.

    You can download the Minecraft installer from here : https://aka.ms/minecraftClientGameCoreWindows

    Once done run the installer and it will download and install Minecraft for your system.

    That will be an issue Taseen since Minecraft uses xbox gaming login services to recognize the purchase. You won't be able to play Minecraft on this system without it.

    Also can I approve the Xbox thing on someone else's (like a friend's) laptop?

    Is the account that bought the game logged into the Minecraft launcher?

    Secondly Is the xbox gaming services running properly on the system or are they blocked too?
