How can I get High Sierra on my mac if it can NOT be downloaded from the mac store ... I see links everywhere on the Apple site, but they all indicate that it is not available in the app store! How the heck can I download High Sierra to get rid of many problems with other software ....

Is this the link you're using?
Don't use FireFox for this link…
https://itunes.apple.com/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12
If you get a corrupted message...
Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, Trash the Install MacsOS High Sierra.app in Applications then a new copy of a more recent version can be downloaded.
Open the link in a browser other than Firefox.

When I use that link (https://itunes.apple.com/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12) in Safari my computer opens the software update window of the control panel at attempts to locate the update before giving this error:
Update not found. The requested version of macOS is not available
The link I get from the "How to Get Old Versions of macOS" Apple Support webpage is slightly different:
https://apps.apple.com/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12
... and that link just leads me to a dead-end page that sticks forever saying:
Connecting to the Mac App Store
..
To use the Mac App Store, you need Mac OS 10.6.6 or greater. For more information, please click here
I am using a MacBook Air running macOS11.1... so that isn't the problem, and there is no High Sierra update available on the App Store anyway (at least not that I can find).
Thanks
The link doesn't work on Safari for me either.
I need to make a bootable drive for an older iMac and don't know where to find the installation file for High Sierra. I was able to download El Capitan, except that my new computer (MacBook running Big Sur) won't let me open the pkg file to access the .app that I need to create the bootable disk...
High Sierra install without App Store
