To disable user access to the Microsoft Store, do the following:

 - Run regedit.exe (administrator)  
 - Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore . (If the WindowsStore key isn't there, you'll need to create it.)  
 - Create a new DWORD value called RemoveWindowsStore and change the value to 1 .  
 - Before this setting takes effect, you must restart your computer and sign in again.

This does not prevent users installing applications via the Windows Store website.

So does not fully block the Windows Store, just the application.

I have the same issue, just tested with APP Locker pushing with Intune, and yes, it blocks the store if you open the APP from the OS, but it will not block it when you download and use the web app. Any update with this?
