A bug in Windows 10 that prevented users from updating or uninstalling Microsoft Store apps has been fixed. The issue was linked to the latest version of WinAppSDK, affecting users who installed version 1.6.2 or later. Microsoft released an optional update, KB5046714, on November 21 to resolve this problem. The update also addresses other issues, including file transfer errors and activation problems after hardware changes. Users experiencing the app update issue are encouraged to install the optional patch. A more comprehensive update is expected next month.
