How to update apps on your Windows 11 PC

Sometimes when you open any application on your Windows system, it may not open properly or even if it does open, some part of the application may not work properly. This is because applications use the Internet and the back-end application programming interface for various functions to function normally. When any of the latest version of that app is released and if you have not updated your app on your system then you may face such issues. Therefore, it is always better to keep your system and applications up to date. Here in this post we will show you how you can update your apps in Windows 11.
