App updates

Was going to check for a YouTube app and found that I had 11 updates available.

Click [tap] the Store tile from the Start Screen.

Check for x Updates (e.g. 11 Updates) in the upper right in green letters.

Afterwards, when it installs [during the install] you see this in the upper right hand side of the Store app’s screen.
