A few weeks ago I was able to re-install Python 3.9 and 3.10 after manually removing the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.* and disabling/enabling the applinks manually and uninstalling/installing a few times to get rid of all left-over applinks on the disk.

I still had two entries by "App Installer" for python.exe and python3.exe in the UI. But I assume those have been there for ages now.

But as soon as the next update was installed both version broke again.

So I tried the same again and uninstalling and manually deleting the folders is no longer enough. I still have applinks in that folder which I cannot delete. And I can no longer install the apps at all. They fail with

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070020: 9P7QFQMJRFP7-PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9.

So now it's completely broken.
