Windows 10: Windows 10 Hijacking Python?

Is anyone else irrationally upset by this?

I hit windows key -> cmd -> enter -> python -> enter which is the way I reflexively jump into the python REPL to check something. Instead it went to the windows store. I was curious because I had, actually, installed python 3.6. So this is what where python returned -

C:\Users\MyName>where python C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe

So at some point an update or something hijacked my python by installing a placeholder version pointing to the windows store. How can I turn that behavior off with extreme prejudice and opt out of similar actions in the future?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Browser hijackers don't show this kind of behavior and more could be going on. Normally I don't suggest Resetting your computer but in this case....
