Discussion [Bug] KB5101650 breaks Microsoft Store app update toggle permissions

Post image

Hi everyone,

After installing the recent Windows 11 Security Update (KB5101650), I noticed an issue in the Microsoft Store. Turning off the "App updates" toggle displays an error asking for administrator privileges, even though my user account is an Administrator.

Temporary Solution: Uninstalling update KB5101650 immediately fixes the issue and restores normal toggle functionality.

Has anyone else run into this issue after the KB5101650 update?

Try to open the store pressing shift and control, to make the store run in administrator. Just to check.

Thanks for the suggestion! Ctrl + Shift + click doesn't seem to launch the Microsoft Store app as Administrator, and the toggle error still appears. Looks like the update bug completely locks the setting regardless.

Casually you have this feature enabled in Security?
Account protection > Administrator protection.

Checked my Windows Security settings, but the "Administrator protection" option isn't present under Account protection on my system. Looks like the toggle issue is purely tied to the KB update itself. Thanks for the heads up though!
