Windows 10: Windows Store not allowing me to download Wampserver

When I click on download on the wampserver website windows store pops up with a message warning that it's an app that's not in Windows Store. It has a button that says "install anyway", but the button isn't doing anything. It's frozen. Please advise.

Windows Defender blocks Wampserver

Ever since enabling Windows Defender on Windows 10 (version 1803 build 17134.112), Wampserver won't run. This after I enabled

Windows Defender > Virus & threat protection > Ransomware protection > Controlled folder access : On

I have excluded the entire folder where Wampserver is installed. I have also excluded the app (Wampserver). Yet, either the thee services won't run or localhost access is denied.

It is only after I set the controlled folder access to OFF that these services become available to me. How to address this problem?
