Update Microsoft Store apps automatically or manually

We should always keep our installed programs up to date. It is always advisable to keep both our Windows and our installed apps updated. An update can fix some bugs and security holes and improve overall security, protecting your personal information.

You may have third-party software or Microsoft Store apps installed on your Windows 11 computer. For a third-party app, you may get notifications to update it. This means that the software developer manages them. But for Microsoft Store apps, there is a centralized place to enable or disable automatic updates. A single setting for Microsoft Store apps can ensure that all Store apps are updated. This is how it works.
