How to change the frequency of Windows store app updates on Windows 10?

I want to increase the app update check frequency so my store app will download and install app updates more frequently, I would also like to deploy this to a range of other computers on my network.

I couldn't find any document about how to do this, there is only one option in Windows 10 store to turn on automatic app updates but there is no details about it. how often it checks for updates, how to change the frequency etc. any ideas? thanks in advance

      Thanks, but I don't think it's the one.
      the title of that question is entirely different and for a different purpose: "How to force update of Windows Store Apps without launching the Store App?"

      and I don't see any specific time in minutes or hours in that Powershell command.

      I'm seeing MDM, EnterpriseModernAppManagement and things like that..sounds like an AAD connected device..

        Dear HotCakeX,

        I made a task scheduled to run every morning, which calls the PowerShell command.

         

        By the way, talking about my status, I'm using Windows 10 Home, and I cannot install functions of Active Directory. I managed to install Group Policy Editor, but there is no entry to schedule updating Store Apps. In registry, there is a folder named AllowAppStoreAutoUpdate and it contains some keys, but it seems none with scheduling, alas.
