Disable Automatic Windows Store

Disable Automatic Windows Store App Updates

Not too long ago we published a lengthy tutorial on how to disable automatic updates for Windows Store apps. Shortly after, Microsoft made this option very simple for users of the Pro edition of Windows 10 (see above for upgrade tips); we updated the article.
Briefly, as a Windows 10 Pro users, you can launch the Windows Store, click your Profile, choose Settings, and turn Update apps automatically Off.

To manually trigger updates, go to Profile > Download and updates, press the Check for updatesbutton, and after the scan has completed click Update all or update individual apps by clicking the download arrow to their far right.

Choosing not to update Windows Store apps doesn’t have any security implications because these applications run in a sandbox that restricts interaction with the rest of the operating system. By sticking with an old version, however, you might miss out on bug fixes or new features.
