Desktop Bridge应用Windows Store更新提交卡在发布状态咨询
Hey there, sorry to hear your update is stuck—let’s break down your questions and actionable steps clearly:
Is this 5-6 day delay normal?
Most of the time, no. Typical Windows Store app updates wrap up review and publishing within 24-48 hours. That said, there are a few scenarios where longer waits can happen:
- Unexpected backlogs in the review queue (especially during peak periods or holidays)
- Your update includes new features, permissions, or content that needs extra manual review (like privacy-focused changes, restricted functionality, or region-specific content)
- Temporary glitches in the Store’s publishing pipeline
A 5-6 day hold is longer than the average, so it’s worth taking steps to investigate.
What can you do to push the update live?
Here are practical moves you can make right now:
- Check your Developer Center notifications: Head to your Microsoft Developer Dashboard and look for pending messages or requests. Sometimes the "Publishing" status hides a request for additional info (like clarifying why you added a new permission) that’s blocking progress.
- Reach out to Microsoft Store support: Use the dedicated support channel in your Developer Center to submit a ticket. Include your app ID, the exact date/time you submitted the update, and a brief overview of the issue. The support team can look into your specific submission’s status and escalate if needed.
- Double-check policy compliance: Quickly review your update package and listing details to make sure you haven’t accidentally violated Store policies. For example, new permissions need clear explanations in your app listing, and content must follow regional guidelines. Fixing overlooked issues could unblock the process if that’s the root cause.
- Wait a little longer (last resort): Occasionally, temporary pipeline issues resolve on their own, but since you’ve already waited 5-6 days, this is less likely to help at this point.
How long do app updates usually take to go live?
Under normal conditions, updates are published within 24-48 hours of submission—this is consistent for minor changes like bug fixes or small UI tweaks.
If your update includes major shifts (new core features, permission additions, or high-risk content like payment integration), review might take 3-5 days. If policy violations are found and require revisions, the timeline will depend on how quickly you can address and resubmit the fix.
