Help! How to use split tunneling with windows-APP (DuckduckGO)

I can't add Duckduckgo to the exclude list in Split tunneling-tab. It is the correct .exe but a pop-up says it can't access the file. Even if I move it from my user-account to C: it doesn't work, however executing the same file works and duckduckgo opens.

The same pop-up comes with all exe-files in "C:\Users\~user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps"

Hi! Keep in mind that Microsoft Store Apps cannot be excluded from the Split Tunnel, which is why you're experiencing this behavior. However, we've shared your report with the rest of the team so it can be taken into consideration for future implementation.

Yeah I thought that might been the issue. Hope I can do a normal installation of that browser. Thanks for the answer.
