Manually updating the game is more difficult than needed.

This is something that I have been dealing with for several years really across many different versions for the PC version of MC and I don't know if this falls under a Minecraft problem or a Microsoft Store problem.

When I notice that the game has updated (either from hearing about it online or getting a notice when I try to join my Realm) and I want to force the update, finding where I can force this becomes a huge chore. Most, if not all of the time the link the game uses to send you to the Microsoft Store entry does not give you the update option and you have to search out the different entries of Minecraft in the store that will give you the option for updating. It just becomes this big search to find where I can do this.

Right now my Realm is reporting that the update is pending but after searching all over–even in the XBox app, I cannot find any option to update my game.

This should not be that difficult to get to update your game but it has been something bugging me for a long time. It would be less of an issue if I wasn't prevented from joining my Realm if it updates and I cannot update my client. It would also be nicer if I didn't have to hunt or try to remember what obscure place I have to go to trigger the update. Perhaps adding the option to the Minecraft Launcher force the update would solve this issue?
