Windows 10: Store apps not updating automatically

Hello all,

I know there are a few threads on this forum on this very subject. However, my case seems to be different. In my case, I do not see errors, just that updates are available but they do not start automatically. If I hit "update all", everything works as it should. But if I don't do that, those apps will never update automatically.

I have tried what is recommended on this and other forums: I reset the Store, reinstalled it. Nothing worked. This is Windows 10 20H2. It's an installation I use for my HTPC so I really haven't got much installed besides those 2-3 things I use for my media.

Any ideas? I manually updated everything yesterday, as soon as I see more apps showing on the update list, I'll take a screenshot and publish it here.

Thank you!

:)

Store Settings "Update apps automatically" won`t stay switched off. WHY?

Hi H. G.,

The possible reason why Update apps automatically turn back on is that the Store app is running in the background. We suggest that you turn off the Store app. This way, it won't receive any updates or send notifications unless opened or turned on
manually.

To turn off Store app, follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo, then go to Settings.
• Click Privacy, then Background apps.
  
• On the list, locate Store and toggle it off.

Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you.

Regards.
