Updating Apps
Periodically, app developers enhance an app by adding features or improving its performance by providing an update. If updates are available, the Store tile on the Windows Start screen shows a number corresponding to the number of updates available. In Figure 37.11, for example, the Store tile shows “6,” which lets you know that you have six apps with an update available.
FIGURE 37.11 Windows 8’s live tiles show when an update is available for an app you have installed.
Click that tile to open the Windows Store. At the top right of the Windows Store, click Update. Windows displays the App Updates page and begins the process of downloading updates available for your installed apps. These updates run in the background and display a message when the updates are installed on your computer.
