2024-02-26 21_41_35-Window

In this Quick Tip, I will talk about how to update apps from the Microsoft Store.

When it comes to updating our computers, we often think of Windows Updates and updating programs we use, but it's important to keep Microsoft Store apps up to date as well since many are included in Windows 10 and 11.

Windows Update and some third-party apps will bug you to update them, but it's not often we see notifications to update Microsoft Apps, especially if you're not using them. However, it's important to keep all aspects of our internet connected computers updated for security.
