Hi,
Since java went modular (Java 9 I guess or a bit later), I believe
stand-alone JRE download was removed as a separate download from
Oracle, with argument that JDK provides JRE, and modular nature
"encourages" to build your own JRE using jlink tool "if needed and
with required functionality". Nevertheless, since OpenJDK became kinda
an "official" java JDK (and maybe due to licence issues between java 8
to I think 17, when Oracle was charging for their own JDK) some of
"distributions" became available (maybe some events are not accurate,
but oh well...). Microsoft build is likely same OpenJDK rebuild for
easy download and installation. Nevertheless, there's JRE available
from some of them, one I would recommend to try is eclipse temurin
https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?os=windows.
