We are releasing a UWP App in Windows Store for Business. Users have automatic update enabled in the store settings.
What triggers the update check of the store? I could see a reboot does this some times, but I wonder if there is a schedule/trigger/service for this. I checked the documentation but I could not find anything.
My question is not about mandatory updates programmatically enforced - just about the store update process itself.
My question is related to rollout planning as we want to understand fully at which point users will be rolled out after submission to the store (including certification & visibility) was done.
Thanks

I think I made a big mistake.
I was asked to investigate Office 365 vs workspace and took out a workspace trial. In hindsight, I probably should have created a new workspace account to try this.
To be clear for a long time we have had access to and used the "Google Workspace Admin console" purely to setup our organisation and adminster users for compute engine projects. I am not sure why we would have had access to this without a paid account. (possibly we used g-suite before. It's not clear to me whether companies are able normally able to access this without a paid account.) I assumed this was akin to the free azure organisation/user setup. Nowadays, I believe we would possibly be advised to use Google Identity in this situation.
Having taken out the trial I understand from workspace support that at the end they will delete my existing organisation and users; they cannot not switch me back to an "identity only" version of workspace we seemed to have before, and are therefore forcing me to sign every user up to workspace even though we don't need it at this point. Is this the case or are they advising me incorrectly?
Assuming they are correct, I cannot sign our company up to google identity, since our domain is owned by the soon to be deleted workspace account.
Therefore my worry is that my business is about to lose access to our compute engine organisation and associated logins, as well as google domains.
The only options I can see are to pay for workspace for our users every month, or create a new organisation in cloud identity, transfer the compute engine projects, wait for the workspace account to be removed, then reclaim our main domain and recreate all the admin users. (I am not sure whether we can move a project out of an organisation once there.)
Is this even possible, and what are the dangers? Are there any other options?
If you have a GCP organization and access to the Admin Console, you must have some subscription. You can see your subscription(s) in the Admin Console under Billing > Subscriptions.
It's possible to add or change subscriptions, but there are some restrictions: For example, if you currently have a G Suite Legacy subscription, you might not be offered the ability to add a Cloud Identity Free subscription. But there are ways to deal with this -- for example, by temporarily upgrading to a paid plan, and then switching to Cloud Identity Free.
Support should be able to help you find a way that doesn't require deleting and re-creating your account/org.
Johannes Passing is correct.
admin.google.com on the home page says "Welcome to the Google Workspace Admin console" - this is confusing since the portal is also about administering organisation and users through cloud identity as well (it could be better named for example "Organisation Admin console")
In addition, there are actually different answers from google:-
This one (which I originally read) says "If your trial period ends and you haven’t set up billing or verified your domain, your account will be automatically deleted" and also "You won’t be able to access Google Workspace after completing the steps."
https://support.google.com/a/answer/6388094
...but this one correctly says "Note that cancelling Google Workspace doesn’t remove user accounts, groups, or your organizational structure"
https://support.google.com/a/answer/1257646
Together this gave the impression that access to admin.google.com may be completely removed, if a subscription is removed. I can clearly see that I also have a subscription to Cloud Identity Free.
I have made an update for windows store app as a mandatory update. In my application I have checked weather an update is a mandatory update or not.In some machines it shows as a mandatory update and in some machines it shown as not a mandatory update. What could be the reason for it?.
You mandatory update settings only apply to UWP packages for customers running Windows 10, version 1607 or later.
So you might check the OS version of the machine in which it shows as a non-mandatory update. Additionally, please also note the day and time when the package update becomes mandatory.
"Shown as mandatoy update" - in there store or do you have some own logic that displays whether it's mandatory or not? For there shouldn't be any hint from MS except when talking to the update API.
The mandatory status of a package update is not enforced by Microsoft, and the OS does not provide a UI to indicate to users that a mandatory app update must be installed. Developers are intended to use the mandatory setting to enforce mandatory app updates in their own code.

Also Mattew is right, it only works for versions gte 1607 .
I want to more rapidly release updates for my application. Is it possible to call Web APIs from the Windows store to publish updates to my Windows 10 apps directly to the Store without manual interaction?
As far as I know .. there's no official API from Microsoft for that, you could ask for that : https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-universal-windows-platform .
I am trying to delete an instance from GUI web tool. It is showing that the instance have been deleted and it is removed from the list. Also the desk have been deleted. But after some time it is coming back in the list. Can some one please tell me what is the issue ?
Thanks!
As mention on my previous comment, if you have installed any of the click to deploy software packages in GCE, you need to delete the cluster in the same page.
If this is not the case, in the Developers Console, the 'Operation' option, provides information of instance being created and by whom. This can give you an idea on what is sniping back the instance. If is's a service account, you need to find the script that is creating the instance and stop it.
This question already has answers here:
Getting unique ClientID from chrome extension?
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Is there a unique ID for each Chrome User?
So that I on my extension, can save informations on my database, with each user have their own unqiue ID?
Does that exist somehow?
EDIT:
Or can I store informations locally on the users machine? This would make it possible to do the same as I want to do?
Im sure this answers your question. And for your update, Yes you can use localstorage to store info on the client computer. Hope this helps :)
Well to track how many installs of your extension, you can add the
Google Analytics ID to your extension in your management area for you
Chrome Extension Gallery. That will keep track of the installs and
updates. Google analytics even has tracking usage, so you can add
tracking information based on a specific metric (clicking, logging)
etc.
If you meant for each "user" tracking, no, extensions don't identify
each individual user, the only thing that is unique is the extension
itself with its extension id. You can have other means of identifying
a user uniquely through a third party service, such as OAuth, OpenID,
or some custom stuff. Then you can associate your authentication to
something locally
While identifying a user is not supported without the user actually logging into the app, you could track the install or machine. See this response of mine for details.
