How to Check for App Updates in the Store in Windows 10 Mobile Phone

The Windows Store offers various apps that users can browse through, purchase, or get for free to download and install to their Microsoft account in Windows 10 PCs and devices.

The people who create apps are constantly making tweaks and improvements, fixing bugs, or adding new features. When a newer version of an app you've downloaded and installed becomes available, the app update will be downloaded and installed automatically by default.

6. If app updates are available, they will begin to automatically download and install. The download arrow at the top right indicates how many app updates are currently downloading or pending for download. (see screenshots below)

   Note

You can click on the X to the right of an app update to cancel the update.

You can pause and resume app updates for all or individual apps.

7. If you like when finished, tap on the Start button at the bottom of your phone to go back to your Start screen. (see screenshot below)

That's it,
