In Windows 11, automatic updates for Microsoft Store apps are set to occur automatically in the background at regular intervals.
You can disable automatic updates in the app settings in the Microsoft Store.
Why do Microsoft Store apps update automatically?
I think the reason why apps in the Microsoft Store are automatically updated is to keep them up to date, but I think the main reason is probably because system functionality depends on some apps.
If you turn off automatic app updates and run Windows Update while the app is outdated, system features that depend on the app may not work properly.
Therefore, if you disabled automatic app updates, you had to manually update the apps you needed on a regular basis.
I think Microsoft updates their apps automatically to prevent issues like this from happening.
How to disable automatic updates for Microsoft Store apps
1. Click on "Microsoft Store" in the Start menu to open it.
2. Once the Microsoft Store opens, click on the user icon.
*If you are signed in with a Microsoft account, the user icon will change to your name.
3. Settings will open, so click the toggle (on/off button) to the right of App updates to turn it "off."
Automatic app updates are now disabled.
How to manually update Microsoft Store apps
1. Click on "Microsoft Store" in the Start menu to open it.
2. Open Microsoft Store and click "Library" in the bottom left.
3. The installed apps will be displayed (some may not be displayed). If "Update" is displayed to the right of the app, click "Update."
4. If you want to update an app individually, click the app icon to open the app's details page.
If there is an update, the "Update" button will appear in the red frame, so update from here.
If the app you want to update isn't listed in your library, search for it using the search box above.
Once you find the app you're looking for, click the app icon to open its details page.
