How to Force Microsoft Store Apps Updates

Windows 10

  1. Open Microsoft Store: Launch it via the Start menu or taskbar.
  2. Navigate to Updates: Click your profile icon (top-right), then select “Downloads and updates.”
  3. Check for Updates: Click “Get updates” to prompt the Store to search for and install any available updates.

Windows 11

  1. Open Microsoft Store: Access it from the Start menu or taskbar.
  2. Find the Library: In the latest version, “Library” appears at the bottom-left corner of the Store window.
  3. Initiate Updates: Choose “Get updates” to download and install the newest versions of your apps.

Key Differences

  • Interface: Windows 11’s Store has a more modern look, with the “Library” button located in the bottom-left corner.
  • Process: Despite the UI changes, the steps to check for and install app updates remain essentially the same in both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

By manually forcing updates, you ensure all your Microsoft Store apps stay secure, perform optimally, and include the latest features.
