Well, i know that i can disable all automatic updates in the Microsoft store, but what about blocking just a single app from doing the update. The problem with manually updates in Microsoft store is, as soon as i perform a manual check for available updates, the downloads still start automatically for all apps. No way i can intercept that and only update the apps that i want.

So do you people know any way to just block a specific app from updating via the store?

I had the same problem with whiteboard - the new version is just a mistake of nature. So, here's what I did:

  • deactivated auto-updates in store
  • when updating, I ALWAYS update under personal scrutiny
  • BUT - because I'm human and make mistakes (and Murphy's Law always apply) - I have the installer for the old whiteboard - and when I find that it has been updated, I just run the old app installer and roll it back.

So, all you have to do is crawl the net and find your old app installer.

Hope it helped.

For Microsoft Store apps, you can uninstall any apps you do not need and then these, of course, will not update.

Any remaining apps that are installed will update always.

Store apps do not have the granularity or flexibility of Windows 10 itself.

So you will need to accept the way it works.

I trust this helps you.
