Microsoft Store reinstalls apps when they are updated #115

I ran the "remove Bloatware With Blacklist" option last week. This week Microsoft updated the Solitaire Collection and it's back again. Is it possible to automate the option to tell the Microsoft Store not to update apps automatically? Thanks in advance

The only real way to do this is to remove the Microsoft Store so that the system cannot reach out to the Microsoft Store and get updated packages.

In the "Update Manager for Windows" program there is an option to disable Microsoft Store updates. See https://github.com/DavidXanatos/wumgr Perhaps the method that does this can be included in Windows10Debloater?

Unfortunately I can't unistall the Microsoft Store because I use uBlock Origin in Edge.

@DonnEdwards There is actually a setting in the Windows Store app that allows you to turn off automatic app updates. Just click on the three dots in the upper right corner and go to "Settings". Really easy to find. Not sure if it will resolve the issue but it sounds like it.
