Hello All

Every day MS App store lists the same apps with update available,  select update all, and then think all is fine, and next day same list shows up again. 

Any advice on how to fix this for good?  

Should i resort to clean install?

Try doing a reset/repair on the Windows store:

To reset the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, press the Windows key + I to open Settings, go to Apps & features, find Microsoft Store, click on it, select Advanced options, and then click the Reset button. This will clear the cache and restore the app to its default state, which can help resolve issues.

Hopefully Solved for Good Now

 

Ran WSReset.exe as Admin on Standard User account

Prior to that logged into my Admin account that i rarely log into, and went thru Settings, and selected Terminate Store, then Reset, Restarted system.

Logged into Standard User MS Account, open Windows Search, searched for WSReset.exe, right clicked Run as Admin, then restarted system a 2nd time.      

 

Opened Windows store, checked for updates--no list of same apps came up that time thankfully.       Hopefully now fully fixed for good, as I was dealing with that since i don't know when, as normally I don't check it too often, since Auto Updates are on, and i expect it to auto update the apps correctly lol. 

Now if it does somehow return, then I'm going to prepare for a full clean Windows 11 24H2 install, once RL annoyances are done within the next week or two.

So, one way or the other this issue going to be permanently solved

    • New Windows 11 25H2 build moves more Control Panel elements to the Settings app

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New Windows 11 25H2 build moves more Control Panel elements to the Settings app by Taras Buria It is a busy day for Windows 11 Insiders, as Microsoft just dropped a trio of new preview builds in the Dev, Beta, and Canary Channels. Windows 11 build 26200.5742 (Dev) and build 26120.5742 (Beta) are now available for download, with more Control Panel elements making their way to the Settings app in a more modernized form. There are also traditional bug fixes and a redesigned mobile device companion for the Start menu in the Dev Channel. Here are the details. Both Dev and Beta builds introduce new language and date/time options in the Settings app, which previously required using the old Control Panel. Those include the following: You can now add additional clocks from Settings > Time & language > Date & time under the collapsed section which can be expanded for “Show time and date in the system tray”. For those unfamiliar with the feature, these additional clocks display in Notification Center, as well as the tooltip when hovering over the clock in the taskbar. You can now change your time server from Settings > Time & language > Date & time, under “Additional settings”. The formatting settings for date and time have moved from Settings > Time & language > Language & region to Settings > Time & language > Date & time, and you can now change your AM/PM symbol from here as well (along with other existing formatting settings). You can now change number and currency format from Settings > Time & language > Language & region, under the “Region” section. If you’d like to enable Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support, there is now a toggle for this under Settings > Time & language > Language & region, under the “Language” section. If needed, you can now copy current user language and region settings to welcome screen and system account, as well as new user accounts, from Settings > Time & language > Language & region, under “Additional settings”. The setting for character repeat delay/rate has moved to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard. The setting for cursor blink rate has moved to Settings > Accessibility >Text cursor. Keyboard character repeat delay/rate is used to control the character repeat duration and repeat frequency. Cursor blink rate is used to control the cursor blinking frequency. Also, Microsoft redesigned the dialog when the system cannot open a program. And, if you are testing Dev builds, you will get a redesigned mobile device companion in the Start menu, which now lets you scroll to access more recent activity, such as messages, calls, photos, updates, and more. Here is the list of fixes that are gradually rolling out to Windows Insiders with the toggle on: [File Explorer] Fixed an issue where some of the icons in Details, Preview, and navigation panes of File Explorer weren’t properly mirrored when Arabic or Hebrew display languages. Fixed an issue where the tooltips in File Explorer might unexpectedly stay visible. Fixed an issue where duplicating a tab in File Explorer on a maximized window would result in a black flash. Improved support for text scaling on desktop icons, addressing an issue which could lead to overlapping icons and text. Fixed a couple cases where Narrator was unexpectedly not announcing actions in File Explorer (when using the “create new” library option, and when expanding details while copying files). Made some more performance improvements – particularly to help the performance of launching cloud files and loading context menus. [Start menu] Fixed an issue for Insiders with the new Start menu, where they might unexpectedly see a category generated for every letter of the alphabet with blank icons, when opening the Start menu in the “All” section after updating to the previous build. Fixed an issue where Visual Studio wasn’t showing in the correct category. [Task Manager] Fixed a few issues impacting Task Manager reliability, including a recent issue which could cause Task Manager to freeze when going to the performance section for some Insiders. Fixed a few issues impacting accessibility – including adjusting minimum field sizes, improving contrast for the column headers on the Details page when contrast themes are enabled, and addressing a focus issue with the ‘Select Columns’ dialog on the Details page. [Input] Fixed an underlying issue where if you tried to type Chinese with an IME after copying something with CTRL + C could result in the first character getting dropped. Fixed an issue where if you were typing on the touch keyboard with the Changjie, Bopomoji, or Japanese IME wouldn’t work if you had switched to using the previous version of the IME. [Settings] Fixed an issue where if you attempt to add a security key under Settings > Account > Sign-in options could result in Settings crashing. [Other] Fixed an underlying issue with dao360.dll resulting in some apps crashing after the last two builds. Fixed an issue causing a small number of Insiders to experience bugchecks with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION in the latest builds. And here is the list of known issues: [General] Some Windows Insiders may experience a rollback trying to install this update with a 0x80070005 in Windows Update. We’re working on a fix for Windows Insiders impacted. If you are impacted, using Settings > System > Recovery > “Fix issues using Windows update” may resolve the issue. [Click to Do (Preview)] The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders: [NEW] After updating to Build 26120.5742, text and image actions in Click to Do may not work and Click to Do may crash. This issue will be fixed in the next flight. Windows Insiders on AMD or Intel®-powered Copilot+ PCs may experience long wait times on the first attempt to perform intelligent text actions in Click to Do after a new build or model update. [Start menu] [NEW] For Insiders with the new Start menu, the layout may temporarily show a smaller Start menu (ex. 6 columns of pinned apps instead of 8). This issue will be resolved shortly, and the larger layout will be restored. [File Explorer] In dark mode, the red color used for a low space drive in This PC may be unexpectedly light colored in this build. Some of the other colors may also be incorrect, including that black is used for space remaining instead of a more visible color. [Live Captions] Live captions may crash when attempting to use live translation on a Copilot+ PC. [Xbox Controllers] Some Insiders are experiencing an issue where using their Xbox Controller via Bluetooth is causing their PC to bugcheck. Here is how to resolve the issue. Open Device Manager by searching for it via the search box on your taskbar. Once Device Manager is open, click on “View” and then “Devices by Driver”. Find the driver named “oemXXX.inf (XboxGameControllerDriver.inf)” where the “XXX” will be a specific number on your PC. Right-click on that driver and click “Uninstall”. You can find the official announcement here (Dev) and here (Beta).
    • Word can now read you document overviews like podcasts

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Word can now read you document overviews like podcasts by Taras Buria If you have a big document and no time to check it, the latest Word feature will help you get it done. Microsoft announced that Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word can now read aloud document overviews, letting you listen to them on the go like podcasts or audiobooks. In addition to reading aloud document overviews, Word lets you customize the experience with reading speed controls, the ability to jump back or forward to key parts of audio, pause, and even save the recording to OneDrive to listen to it later or share with someone else. Voice document overviews are now available in Word on Windows (version 2506, build 18925.20138) and Word for the web. If you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, you can try it out by opening a document, clicking the Copilot button in the Home tab, and asking the AI to generate an audio overview. Once the overview is generated, Copilot will present you with a media player and playback controls, such as speed, jump forward/backward, and pause. To save the recording, click the three-dot button and select "Save to OneDrive." Finally, you can access previously-generated overviews in your Microsoft 365 Copilot chat history. For now, audio overviews work only in English (Microsoft promises to add more languages soon), and they require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. There are also two other limitations: Audio overview only works for online files that are in OneDrive and SharePoint, and not local files that are on your system or external drives. Files require a minimum of 100 words to generate an audio overview. In case you missed it, Microsoft recently announced that the new GPT-5 by OpenAI is now available in Microsoft 365 Copilot, giving you a more powerful and modern AI assistant to help you work with documents. GPT-5 is also available in the Microsoft Copilot app on computers and mobile devices.
    • Microsoft killing its free highly rated document scanner app soon this year

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      You don’t pay for Microsoft Lens so it must not be that valuable to you. Just saying. Microsoft is a business, it makes money from creating services and products customers are willing to pay for, in exchange for those products (Office, Microsoft, CoPilot) and Services (Office 365, Microsoft 365, OneDrive, GitHub, CoPilot).

      I think it's aesthetically unappealing, and it's obvious to anyone, not just macOS users. It's right there in the middle of the top menu bar. The engineer responsible for that ugly notch would have been fired by Steve Jobs.
