Windows 10: Microsoft Store ignoring "Update Apps Automatically" option.

As soon as I connected to Wi-Fi, wsappx started using a bunch of CPU and network bandwidth. I opened the Microsoft Store, and went to the Downloads and Updates. It was updating some of my apps, even though I disabled Update Apps Automatically under the settings. I even checked under Settings/Privacy/Background Apps, and the Store was disabled there. I have Windows 10 1909 64-bit, build 18363.720.

Turn On or Off Automatic Updates for Apps in Windows 10 Store  


Hi Shawn, I have no use for Universal Windows Apps. And I dont have a Microsoft account. When I open Store and look for Settings to disable Apps from updating automatically from there, I don't find Settings. I guess the account is needed for having access to Settings from within Store?

So, despite not using a MS account, can I use Option 3, Steps 4 and 3 to turn Off or back On Apps automatic updates?

I uninstalled all Apps that Microsoft "don't mind" we uninstall but left the rest alone. I can ignore them but would love to stop their updates. I can tell when they are updating, and see errors (number 37) in Windows Events Log that the updates generates. Does this error goes away by Turning off Apps updates? And, is disabling Apps from updating automatically going to generate another error in Event Log?

Thanks *Cool
