Microsoft Store forced updates, could not close, only a temporary break. 🚨

Recently, the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and Windows 11 has been updated, adding a number of capabilities that can be made much more enjoyable, causing more and more people to load apps through the Store. Developers have become more interested, especially after Microsoft canceled the entry fee for individual developers, so that more people will write apps on this side.

.

But most recently, there have been changes that may make some people not happy. Microsoft has cut off the app's "automatic update" ability. Previously, anyone who did not like the app to update, just turn off this function and choose to update at any time they wanted, but now they can't.

.

There is only a "stay of updates," which can only rest temporarily, and you have to choose how many weeks to return to the automatic update. There are options from one to five weeks. After that, the Store will open the update mode and load everything without asking again.

.

The idea is not really new, because Windows itself uses a similar approach to system updates that can only rest briefly and then update itself. The main reason is security. Microsoft does not want users to be attached to old apps or systems that may be vulnerable or vulnerable to attack, so it chooses to use "force updates" to make every device as secure as possible, which is like when the company automatically updated the basic app in Windows 11 version 24H2 to prevent people from getting old apps from the first installation.

.

If anyone doesn't really like this idea, there are solutions, such as loading apps from outside the Store or waiting for the upcoming 25H2 version of Windows 11, that will give users more control over apps, including the Microsoft Store.
