No existing Julia version after installing through MS Store and Juliaup is unable to install new versions #939

When trying to install Julia via the Microsoft Store, no actual Julia version gets installed on my PC, and juliaup is unable to install any versions. I am running Windows 10. Trying to run julia in the command line gives this error:

>julia
Error: The Julia launcher failed to figure out which juliaup channel to use.

Running juliaup status shows no channels. When trying to add a new one, I get this error:

>juliaup add 1.10.3
Error: Io error. Look inside err_kind for more details.

Deleting the ~/.julia/juliup folder and then trying to run julia returns this:

>julia
Error: Failed to run `run_command_add` from the `run_command_initial_setup_from_launcher` command.

Caused by:
    Io error. Look inside err_kind for more details.
Error: The Julia launcher failed to figure out which juliaup channel to use.

after which the folder simply gets created again.

Downloading and installing an official binary without going through the Microsoft Store works perfectly fine.
