This tutorial will show you how to check for app updates in Settings via Windows Update in Windows 11.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26220.7344 (Dev & Beta), the Unified Update Orchestration Platform (UOP) is starting to roll out. UOP makes app updates more consistent and predictable, with fewer interruptions. Insiders will see a new page in Settings > Apps > App Updates, where they can check update progress and take action if needed.
How it Works
Apps will register with UOP via APIs.
UOP triggers a registered app to scan, download and install updates based on user activity and system state.
Apps continue to utilize their own backend for acquiring updates.
Apps report update status back to UOP, so users can see it in the App Updates page.
Availability
No apps utilize UOP yet because the feature is new, but apps will start using it over time. The feature is partially enabled for Dev and Beta Channel Insiders today and will reach full enablement in these channels soon. API documentation will follow.
Here's How:
1 Open Settings (Win+I).
2 Click/tap on Apps on the left side, and click/tap on App updates on the right side. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on Check for updates. (see screenshot below)
That's it,
