Windows 10: Update button not showing when there is an update to my UWP app.

After publishing my latest app update on the Microsoft Store through Partner Center, on a button click in older app my app successfully navigates users to the store page for updates. However, instead of showing an 'Update' button, it only displays a 'Open' button. When the newly released version is downloaded the latest version gets download. Also store auto updates are not enabled.What could be causing this issue, and how can I ensure the update button appears correctly?

UWP Suspended my apps to improve my system performance

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It seems you're experiencing issues with Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps not functioning correctly on your Windows system. This can be due to various reasons including system file corruption, outdated system components, or conflicts within the operating system. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve these issues:

1. Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

Windows includes a variety of troubleshooters designed to quickly diagnose and automatically resolve various computer problems.

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
  
• Find and run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.
  

2. Check for Windows Updates

Ensuring your system is up to date is crucial for its stability and functionality.

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and click Check for updates.
  
• Install any available updates and restart your computer.
  

3. Reset the Microsoft Store Cache

Sometimes the Microsoft Store cache can become corrupted and cause issues with UWP apps.

• Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
  
• Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. A blank Command Prompt window will appear, and after about ten seconds the window will close and the Store will open automatically.
  

4. Use PowerShell to Re-register UWP Apps

You mentioned trying to re-register UWP apps without success, but ensure you followed these steps:

• Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  
• Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
  
  
• Wait for the process to complete and then restart your computer.
  

5. Create a New User Account

Sometimes, the user profile can become corrupted and cause issues with app functionality.

• Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.
  
• Under Other users, click Add someone else to this PC and follow the prompts to create a new user account.
  
• Switch to the new account and see if the issue persists.
  

6. Perform a System File Check (SFC)

System File Checker can repair corrupted system files which might be causing the issues with UWP apps.

• Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  
• Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
  
• Wait for the scan to complete and then restart your computer.
  

7. Consider a Clean Install

If none of the above solutions work, performing a clean installation of Windows might be necessary. This will remove all files, settings, and applications, so ensure you back up important data first.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Update UWP App

A Universal UWP app is the name for the Windows 10 version of what were first called Metro apps in Windows 8. They are all your Store apps, either supplied with Windows (Calculator, Photos, etc,) or installed by using the Store (free apps or bought).

Universal Windows Platform - Wikipedia

UWP apps are usually updated from within the Store.
