Can do well 🍋

Previously, when updating apps loaded from the Microsoft Store, we had to update from the original source. Many people felt that it was not very convenient, and it was a bit of a hassle to update each time. Even though there was an automatic update, many times it didn't work much.

.

Microsoft recently started testing a new app update on Windows 11 that was even easier to use, adding an app update page in Settings that looks like a Windows Update page, but the image released seems to be split into another page. It's not sure if the future will be included.

.

The key point is that Windows Update has been added to the ability to check and install app updates directly without relying on the Microsoft Store. The app can still be updated even if the administrator has disabled the Store or the user has deleted the Store app.

.

The feature is not yet fully functional, but it has been confirmed that common apps can choose to update through Windows Update, not limited to enterprise apps. This idea is part of a new update management platform that Microsoft is developing to allow apps to send their own update processes to Windows Update, which should help IT in many organizations take care of their machines much easier.

.

In the past, Microsoft said that the Windows update system was still quite fragmented. Administrators had to chase updates from multiple points at the same time, so there was a centralized update platform that supported app updates, drivers, and other elements along with Windows updates.

.

If this approach is true, we may see app updates integrated with Windows Update, a Linux-like system that includes all updates in one manager. However, this feature is still under development and does not know when to release it. Please continue to monitor progress.
