Winget updating MS Store Apps

Is there a way for Winget to upgrade MS store apps for all users at the same time? 

Also, Winget is not finding updates for MS store apps even though when I manually check for updates in the MS store, there are apps to update. Is there a command for this situation?

    If Winget is not finding updates for Microsoft Store apps, even though manual checks in the Store show available updates, it might be due to the way Winget handles updates for store apps. Currently, Winget does not fully support updating apps installed through the Microsoft Store because it primarily targets traditional Win32 applications. To ensure your Microsoft Store apps are up-to-date, continue using the Microsoft Store's built-in update feature. For a command-line approach, you can use the command winget upgrade --all, but note that this will primarily affect non-store apps. To automate Microsoft Store updates, you can rely on the Store's settings to check for and apply updates automatically.
