Our corporate image for Windows 8.1 has the Windows Store app disabled. We have started to see some users are getting prompted to update the built-in apps, like the weather app or the video app. When these users attempt to update, they are taken to the Windows store where they receive a message that states the store has been disabled by the administrator.

We're using SCCM 2012 R2 CU3.  Is it possible to patch these apps through SCCM software updates rather than through the store?  Is it possible to leave the store open for updates, but not for new app downloads?  What can we do?

Hi,

The answer is no, When store app need to be updated, it would download a full new version package of the APP, install and replace the old ap. This process do need to login Windows Store to finish the job.

It is possible with Windows Updates.
