Ever experienced a sudden app crash or encountered bugs while working? 

Keeping your apps updated can be your first line of defense against such disruptions. 

But how exactly do you ensure your Windows apps are always up to date? 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Use the Microsoft Store.

The Microsoft Store isn't just for downloading new apps; it also manages updates for your installed applications. 

Regular updates bring security patches, bug fixes, and new features that enhance app performance and functionality. 

Staying updated ensures you’re always running the latest and most secure versions of your favorite apps.

Here's how to do it.

1. Press the Start button, type “Microsoft Store” in the search bar, and click on the app to open it.
2. In the Store, click on "Library" in the left sidebar.
3. In the "Library" section, you'll see an area labeled "Updates & Downloads." 
4. Click on "Get updates" to check for any available updates.
5. If updates are available, click on "Update all" to install them. Alternatively, you can update apps individually by clicking the "Update" button next to each app.
6. To automate this process, go to your profile picture in the Store, select "Settings," and make sure the “App updates” toggle is turned on.
