Windows Apps don't update automatically

Question

Although I've activated automatic Apps update in the Apps Store, when I go to the Apps library, I found new updates for some Apps, and I've to get it manually.

What could be the cause and the solution?

Answer 1

Press Windows key + I to open Settings.

Click on Update & Security, then Troubleshoot.

Under Find and fix other problems, click on Windows Store Apps and run the troubleshooter.

• Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
• Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. This will clear the cache for the Microsoft Store.

Answer 2

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can check the background apps and processes to see if Microsoft Store can run on the backend.

Path: Settings > Privacy > Background apps, and ensure that the switch is turned on.

Meanwhile you can check if there's any group policy or third Pary application preventing it from updating.
