What is this PR about

This PR fixes the way a user is directed to the Microsoft Store to download the Sysinternals Suite.

Currently, the "Install Sysinternals Suite from the Microsoft Store" link is misbehaving.
The current behaviour of the link is as follows:

  1. Sometimes, the link yeilds a 503

  1. Sometimes, the link yields a missing page

  1. Sometimes, it takes unreasonable amount of time to get redirected to apps.microsoft which techinically is a Microsoft Store but on the web as opposed to the user's local Microsoft Store which is more intuitive for user to install from.

Solution

According to UWP documentation, the recommended way to link to a specific product/software in the Windows Store / Microsoft Store is by using ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=XXXXXXX and this PR does that.

Alternative Solution

Refer to apps.microsoft.com page for Sysinternals Suite directly.

I would personally vote for the alternative solution, so the link is still supported on non-windows platforms.

But any fix for the Service Unavailable error would be appreciated as I'm also experience this issue.
For me it's pretty consistent always returning af HTTP 503 error in multiple browsers and different networks.
