Ways to Update Apps on Windows 11

On a Windows 11 PC, you can use two methods to update the apps.

  • Use Microsoft Store to install and update the Apps.
  • Use winget upgrade command-line tool to update Windows 11 Apps.

You can use the above methods to update apps on Windows 10 and Windows 11.


Configure Automatic Updates for Microsoft Store Apps

When the Microsoft Store was first released, there was no option for automatic app updates. With this limitation, the users had to launch the Microsoft Store app on their PC and manually update the apps. The latest version of the Microsoft Store no longer has this restriction, so you can now set apps to update automatically.

If you want Microsoft Store apps to automatically update to the latest versions, you can set up automatic updates with the following steps:

  • Launch the Microsoft Store on your Windows 11 PC.
  • In the top bar, click on your profile pic and from the list of options, select App Settings.



On the App Settings window, the first option “App Updates” lets you configure automatic updates for Microsoft Store Apps. Turning on the option “App updates” will automatically update all the apps installed via Microsoft Store.
