W/ the Microsoft Store app been useless if ‘Private Store only’ is configured it leaves one functionality missing: Check for updates of Inbox apps / Store based apps.
The use case is devices been off for some time e.g., days, or even weeks. Windows does not immediately check for app updates; it can take up to 24 hours to get updates. But these updates can be security critical.
So, we trained the users to check manually via the Microsoft Store app.
We tried to rebuild the functionality w/ winget. But the property to identify Store based apps is not supported in filters or search.
So, this leaves only a full winget export and text parsing or hardcoding a list of apps to be checked by winget for available updates.
