Store not showing App Updates.

[Mayur M Naravani]

I have found out the solution for this update notification problem.
Even this problem was with my lumia 720 since i bought this new phone. The solution is very simply. Go to settings->phone updates and deselect those all options i.e, your phone should not check for automatic updates. After doing this i found that the issue is solved. This has worked with my mobile, i don't guarentee for others, but this would really help, try it out. Don't forget to restart your phone and wait for 2-3 days. Thank you.

The above suggestions weren't working for me sadly, but with a slight variation to the unpin-->soft reset procedure, my store live tile is updating properly again. Here's exactly what I did. Step 1 is (I think) the addition to the above described procedure that made the difference.

Search manually through the store to find an update for one of the apps you have installed, but don't install it.
Exit to the Start screen and look at your store live tile (should be showing "1" for the update you manually found)
Unpin the store tile
Settings --> Applications --> Internet Explorer. Delete History
Exit to the Start screen
Soft Reset (Press and hold Volume and On/Off button until phone resets)
Settings --> Date + Time (set your date and time)
Exit to start screen
Power Off (hold power button and swipe down when prompted)
Power On
Pin your Store tile to the Start screen

Following that procedure, my tile updated immediately with several update notifications. Best of luck

How many times did you try it?

How is set your time and date, guys: MANUAL or AUTOMATIC?
And what's the sync time of your Microsoft account(as items arrive, 15 min, 30 min)?

I have TWO Lumias 920 with same softwares installed, model, firmware versions, different device names and SHARING the same Microsoft Live ID Account.
The second device receives all updates precisely, but the first one NEVER RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION.
Note: Different phone numbers and both on the same carrier operator.

After trying most of the things above with no luck. I had read that someone got it working again after uninstalling Skype.
I did not uninstall Skype but i logged myself out of Skype (and Messenger as they are integrated in the same app now) and then used my Lumia 920 as normal for the rest of the day. Now, suddenly, I have 26 updates ready to install. Yeay!

My phone has undergone a hard reset three times and was replaced once. In each scenario the problem seems to be solved for a couple of days a then comes back again. It's pretty hopeless.

Store looks for updates in particular time. Mine is 10 AM. So you have to be online and updates will show up. I had 6 today. Remeber to activate "Keep WiFi on when screen times out" in WiFi advanced settings. Hope this help.

Mine works ATM, Mine checks in the early hours of the morning as the updates are there ready for when I wake up.

From the Support chat they suggest me to hard-reset my phone and set my date+time to manual and eventually install my keyboard before configuring my Microsoft Account. Let you know if it works.

I didn't understood the relating between language keyboard and update information. I only can imagine IF it exist should be named like OS BUG!

I think the problem is market place search for updates at a particular time in a day and we should be connected to internet at that time. Otherwise it wont search for updates.
How to solve this, make your phone connected to wifi for the whole day or make data connection available all the time. (before connecting to wifi make sure KEEP WIFI ON WHEN SCREEN TIMES OUT checked. Available in WP8 Settings --> Wifi --> Advanced. )

In some other forums they are suggesting that maybe it's some bad-assembled app that cause the problem. Could you list your apps?
Mine are App di uso quotidiano - App Highlights Social Beta

A tried a new method that worked for me:
1. Unpin store from start screen
2. Delete IE history
3. Soft-reset and manually set data and time.
4. Add a new keyboard(you don't need to install it) - you will see that the phone is looking for "updates" in the Update section; wait it ends.
5. Turn off and turn on the phone
6. Pin back your store tile.

Wait at least a day and try to keep your Wi-Fi always on.

You know if i manually update an app, without waiting for the notification, I will lose future notifications from the store?

Everyone out there having this problem...I did a soft reset manually found an update, didn't install it and left my windows phone for 1-2 hrs. The time I picked it it was showing 14 updates.

When I got my phone in february, app update notification not worked for a week, then it started to work nicely. Now I had to reset my phone yesterday (got it back from lcd-replacing) and it showed 20 update, then all of that just dissapeared, and then I had to manually check for the updates by each app (and with "lumia system updater" app).
