Your computer will periodically check for app updates. Apps are typically updated to fix bugs (issues) and add new features. Apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store can be automatically updated together, instead of updating them one by one. There are some instances where you may need, or want, to manually check the Microsoft Store for app updates. You can also manually check the store just to confirm all apps are up-to-date.
