[WIN8] App Store Updates


App Store says there are 15 updates for me. Why are these not being handled by the automatic update mechanism? Now I have to go check for updates?

You just now realized this? This only really effects metro crap anyway, and if you left the store on the start menu as a live tile it tells you if you have updates.

The metro runtime, and windows desktop are still separate. Also the metro apps never run as an administrator, they are updated, and installed per user. If you switch users you need to update them there too....
