Windows Store is an app store for Microsoft Windows and was first made available for Windows 8. Both free and paid apps are available in the Windows Store. Windows Store has undergone a complete revamp for Windows 10 making it easy to navigate and install the apps you want. Windows store is a part of Microsoft’s quest for a single place for all applications. Yet the Windows store is not the go-to place for all the applications because PC users are still unable the find the applications they are looking for.
Microsoft has been trying to push most of the apps to its store. Similar to Android Play store apps, Microsoft apps are large, especially the game apps. These apps occupy large spaces and also take the majority of your internet speed and time. Even after updating the apps, some may not work. By default, all apps are set to auto-update whenever Wi-Fi is available. It’s quite uncomfortable to disable the auto-update feature for each app of Windows 10 store app.
Let’s see how to enable or disable the auto-update feature in Windows 10 store apps.
How to Disable Auto-Update Feature in Windows 10 Store
