Windows 10: Action Center: Windows Store (apps) Update notifications?

Hi!

For ages I have wondered why Action Center doesn't show update notifications for Windows Store (or MS Office 365 Updates) new app updates? I have following configuration active on Windows:

- Store: Does not automatically update apps (> but I do not get notifications of those either!)
- "Get notifications from Apps and other senders" is On
- Notifications for "Microsoft Store" is On

Am I missing something or hasn't this even been implemented by MSFT?

And yes, I do get update notifications for Windows updates, Security updates etc. so the "service" itself is working for those (and other apps), but not for Windows Store updates or MS Office 365 update notifications.

I'm running Windows 10 May update version.

Action Center notifications launching Win Store on click


Greetings everyone,

A new quirk occurred that I haven't found a solution for yet. It started several days ago, maybe after an update, but not sure:

1. When a toast pops up, like a news alert, I go to the Action Center slide-out and click the news title to launch the article.
2. The click launches the Windows Store and takes me to the page to download the MSN News app, although it's already installed and working. There's a blue button to 'Launch' it. (see screen capture)
3. When I click the 'Launch' button, it then launches the MSN News app and takes me to the article that the toast notified me of.

I'm perplexed. How do I fix this so that the toast or headline in the Action Center opens the news app/article, instead of the store?

Thank you.

System: Windows 10 Pro AU x64, build 14393.447. All updates current.
