Win11 Tests Unified App Update Page to Replace Third-Party Pop-ups
Windows 11 is testing an "App Updates" feature to centralize third-party app updates in Settings > Apps, replacing current pop-up notifications (e.g., Java). Developers must register as providers and supply an update-checking script. Windows will use intelligent scheduling—considering usage, battery, and network conditions—to install updates. Scans run by default every 22 hours. The feature remains in final testing and is not yet available.
Win11 tests unified app update page to replace third-party pop-ups
Windows 11 is testing an "App Updates" feature that aims to centralize updates for third-party applications within Settings > Apps, replacing the individual update prompts that pop up from apps like Java.
Developers will need to register as providers and supply a script for checking updates. Windows will leverage the same intelligent scheduling used for system updates, coordinating installations based on usage status, battery level, and network conditions, with a default scan interval of every 22 hours. This feature is still in the final testing phase and is not yet available.
