Unfortunately, you have limit management capability when it comes to Microsoft Store.
You won't be able to manage update and manage or control applications.
However, you may file a feedback in the Feedback Hub app or upvote existing ones.

- Thanks for your reply.
Okay I see. So there is no way to manage both updates of apps which are installed and block downloading new apps?
What is best practice when it comes to the MS Store? We want the standard modern apps which is being installed in WIN 10 and 11 to be updated all the time and at the same time we want to block users from downloading new apps.
Thanks.- Update will be done automatically , so when they connect to internet they get the latest update but you couldn't manage it. The only option you have is to disable access to Microsoft Store. You could use AppLocker to restrict applications, for example you may create allow list and deny other applications or allow all and deny the one you want to restrict, depending on your requirements.
