Is there a way to see what was updated after it updates?

You can scroll further down the page to see when the apps were last modified for this.

Not really working for me as the list is not accurate since it starts with the newest updated in reverse chronological order:

So basically according to this, only Twitter and Candy Crush Saga was updated which was 2 days ago.

Notifications however says there are 8 things updated on July 23, 2021 which was yesterday and I manually watched it and the notifications is correct but none of the 8 things updated which are not Twitter or Candy Crush Saga are not showing up in that list.

I just clicked on Get Updates under Library, watch the date change on Twitter and Candy Crush Saga, I know it just updated HEVC Extensions:

Here is one example of something that was updated but not shown as it's not even in the library list:

I also installed Adobe Photoshop Express on July 23, 2021:

You can change the filter to like in my screenshot to have the newest listed first.

Already have it on Sort by Most Recent except what's shown is not anything even remotely close to what was updated. I can go through the entire list and nothing that was updated as I do the updates manually even shows up in the list. I should say that Sort by Name actually works fine as it will show everything but Sort by Most Recent is not showing everything as what's on the top of the list was not what was the most recently updated as the actual Most Recently updated is missing. Here is a example:

The following are what are examples of what was updated and as you can see from the above, they are not on the list at all:

Change "All Types" to "Apps" on the left side of the filter to see if that may better help.

It does need a better update history though.

It managed to get the Adobe Photoshop Express but is still missing the Messenger in the screenshot in the previous post... And it seems to put Twitter in the wrong place since Twitter is not the most recent. Seems like when it sorts by date, it's only randomly selecting what to show.

Hello,

As a test, boot into Safe Mode with Networking, and see if you may be able to get updates from the Microsoft Store.

Hi, thanks for your hint, what this should do ?

I created a .reg file with the text you wrote me, but there is an error...
Could you please check it ?

Hi,

I have done a new Windows 11 installation in place (I created an USB key with the last Wrision of Windows 11 inside and I re-installed Windows 11 starting inside Windows 11 itself (it is not possible to do a re-installation of Windows 11 booting the USB key).

Anyway I noticed this: I have previously installed an old version of Microsoft Store and when have re-installed Windows 11 in place, the Microsoft Store version remained the old one, the re-installation does not installed the updated version of the Microsoft Store and this sounds a bit strange...

Have you got the last version of the Microsoft Store that I can launch to update the old one or overwrite it ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your great help.

Unfortunately, the Microsoft Store is a Store app and not one that has an executable that can be used for this.
