Windows 10: Microsoft Store experience not similar for all my devices

Hi all.


I would like to ask some advice as to why this particular thing happens.


I have a Windows 10 laptop and a Windows 10 tablet, both connected to the same

Microsoft Account in the Windows Store.


I have notices several times that on one device when there are app updates available, they are not

on the other device.


The latest example would be with the Raw Image Extension app - one of my device got updated to

version 1.0.32861 , however on my other device it still remains at version 1.0.32721 and when I check

for updates manually it reports that everything is up to date.


Is there a reason as to why this happens? Are Windows Store apps updates deferred as per device type?

Or should this usually be a temporary issue and later the update will pop up?

Since this seemed to happen several times before, I cannot wrap my head around why it manifests like that.


Thank you!

:)
