Windows 10 "Immersive" apps cannot send requests to the local computer. This includes the App Installer application.
After enabling an exemption to this security feature using Fiddler the link works fine.
You can also add an exemption at the command line with:
PS C:\> checknetisolation loopbackexempt -a -n="Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.0.32912.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe"
But it doesn't seem to take effect immediately, might have to reboot or something.
