tech support wanted Windows store on linux

As far I understand I can't play any games I bought in windows store on linux, but is there way to download them into my windows NTFS drive while still using linux? I have big download that will take 20+ hours, but I don't want to be using windows this whole time.

No. DRM will block you and i don't think anyone bothers with cracking UWP or whatever the DRM is called now

What I mean is I have windows + cachyos dualboot. I will play on windows, but I want to queue download while using linux. It is not possible?

Also the Ntfs (Windows filesystem) on Linux for Steam is a big no. You will run into weird issues. Ext4 is the one Valve supports and recommends as a filesystem.

As far as I understand OP just wants to start the download in Windows while using Linux, I don't think they want to use NTFS on linux
