Sometimes I want to go directly to check for App updates in the Windows Store.
This is how I do it with a custom shortcut.

CREATE A SHORTCUT TO UPDATE WINDOWS STORE APPS
1. From the desktop, Context-click (right-click) New, Shortcut
2) Type in this:
Code:
%comspec% /c start ms-windows-store:updates
3. Click Next, then Give the shortcut a name, such as "App Updates", Finish.

I customized the icon for my shortcut with "Store.ico", which is available from here.

This is a cool link thanks. Do you know how to stop auto-updates? I prefer to know when they're available, then manually select them. I'm sure there was an option but it never seemed to work properly for me... :confused:
