This should help

I can't either. The instructions are outdated. In the MS Store app as well as on the linked page there is no "Install" button, Now there is a DOWNLOAD button and You get a file to download "Python 3.13 Installer.exe"
What now?
Sure, we would start the installer.exe.

#

While typing this a python window appears and all I am writing goes into this new window. Great.
What do I do now?
Ok I ended this window, opened a new cmd window and executed "pip install gql websockets simconnect --upgrade --no-warn-script-location" there...

#

It looks this was successfull.
It tells me after the installation that an updated pip version is available. Should not be important for MF, but i will try:
[notice] A new release of pip is available: 25.2 -> 25.3
[notice] To update, run: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

#

Now it says:
Installing collected packages: pip
WARNING: The scripts pip.exe, pip3.13.exe and pip3.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python313\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
Successfully installed pip-25.3

Again ... new questions... why does the pip installer not add the python script path to the PATH variable? Is it required or not?

It's not important, just ignore it

I'll look at updating the docs, seems MSFT changed things
