Microsoft adds new "app updates" page to Windows 11's Settings app for updating certain apps using Windows Update

Windows Updates.

Microsoft looks to be adding a new way of ensuring all your installed apps are up to date via the Windows Settings app on Windows 11. In the latest preview build, a new "app updates" page has appeared in the 'Apps' section of the Settings app, which lets you check for updates for apps that have chosen to support being updated via Windows Update.

You may be wondering what the point of this is, considering the Microsoft Store app is the go-to place for all your app downloads and updates. Well, in some cases, the Microsoft Store app isn't accessible, whether that be due to policies set by an admin, or if you've chosen to uninstall the Microsoft Store app entirely.
