It's not overly transparent how apps, especially Win32 ones will update once installed. If the app lacks its own inbuilt update mechanism then what will actually trigger the future upgrades of these apps from the store once installed?
- Eric79xMay 31, 2023Iron ContributorIf it's a Store app without built in update, it will update at whatever frequency the Store checks for updates. Unfortunately, the Store isn't consistent in it's auto-updating and frequently requires manual checks. If it's a win32 app installed via winget, I am not aware of any current default settings for winget to auto-update. I there'd need to be a scheduled task setup for it.
