Microsoft Store not updating Apps

[Danny11515]

I seem to have ran into a slight problem today and I am really unsure why this has occurred. I have had a request from a user that I need to update their sticky notes application on their system because it doesn't want to open unless it has done the update and when I click onto the application it says that it is unable to do the update due to the App update policies on this PC preventing me from receiving the required app update.

 

However I have looked onto the Group policy editor and then is no policy set. I have checked on the other computers in the building and this seems to run without an issue but it just seems to be this computer in question that is not allowing the update to run on the system. I have tried logging into an admin account and running a check for updates on the Microsoft store but this doesn't come up with anything. I have checked the settings and checked for updates and this doesn't show anything so I am now a bit stuck.

 

Has anyone else encountered this problem before and know how to fix it?

Nuke it from orbit and rebuild if everything else with the same policies is fine. It'll be quicker than troubleshooting!

Hi,

Have you blocked access to the MS Store?

These might have been in place before and could have been deleted.

However, those registry keys stay behind unless they are toggled the other way first.

Also are you using local profiles or roaming? If its roaming you have to turn on a GP setting to allow the app store stuff to work.
