Exporting an Universal Windows App as an EXE file in Visual Studio 2019

I have written a program using Visual Studio 2019 ( Universal Windows Project ) and I want to export it as a MS Windows executable file. I searched it once, but I couldn't find any answer to do that. If anyone knows how to do that, please reply me. Thanks

To install the App on other Windows 10 devices, you need to create an AppX installer package.

Select the UWP app in solution explorer, Right-click the project and choose Publish->Create App Packages (before Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, the Publish menu is named Store).

Now check Sideloading:

On the target device, install the generated certificate and make a double click on the appx file to install the app.
