Automatic app updates not working

Hi guys,

So I have "Automatically update my apps" enabled, but pressed the "Check for updates" button to check if it is working correctly, and noticed there was a Bing Weather update available! I've gone ahead and installed it manually, and sure enough the version I had: .258 has been updated to .309. Anyone know why this app was not automatically updated?

By the way, I'm not using a metered internet connection.

(Later edit) Great, I've just checked again and there is a Bing News update available now! :mad: No automatic update happening, and also no number 1 visible on the Store app live tile, despite the fact that there is clearly one update available!

Curious that they were both Bing apps though. Maybe it's a Bing thing.

Hi templar,
It might be a permission problem What Anti Virus programme do you have? and are you in an admin account?

Still permission problems, okay download this file: Download SubInACL (SubInACL.exe) from Official Microsoft Download Center , and double click it while the file is in desktop and make sure the destination file is C:\Windows\System32, it will reset the permissions on your PC then open a new notepad file and paste this:
@echo off

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f

@Echo =========================
@Echo Finished.
@Echo =========================
@pause
then name it to "reset.bat" then run it as admin and wait a few minutes, when its doe you will get a message "Finished, press any key to continue" then you should be able to install updates automaticly again, if the problem assists then remove or disable all the third-party security programs such as firewalls and anti-virus software.
Hope that helps
