Now open the Charms Bar and select App updates To do this just open the Windows Store from your Start Screen:

Since we know the option is coming to Windows 8.1, and whether we get an app update history or not, you may want to turn this off on your system. So the feature makes a lot of sense and many will appreciate it just taking care of business behind the scenes. When you think about it have you ever not updated an app that received an update in the Windows Store? Yeah me neither – every time there is an update I install it. That point has been discussed at length on Twitter and in support forums so it will be interesting to see if this changes in the RTM version of Windows 8.1. There is no type of notification that an app has been updated nor is there anywhere to go see a list of recently updated apps similar to say Windows Update History.

This is set as a default so the first time you install Windows 8.1 the option will be turned on and app updates will happen in the background. One of the new features in the Windows App Store in Windows 8.1 is the automatic updating of any apps you install from the store.
