Hi,

According to your description, you have enabled the "Update apps automatically" option in Microsoft Store Setting.

If we choose an app and update manually whether this is successful or not.

Type "winver" in Search Bar to check the system OS build. Previous versions of the system may had this problem. So check for update, if we find some security updates, please install firstly.

Meanwhile, check related group policy and registry below：

Group policy:

Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Store

Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates》disable

Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore

AutoDownload DWORD

delete DWORD = default
2 = always off
4 = always on

Regards,
