2020-01-14T17:34:19.67+00:00 I would like to have more control over UWP updates than the existing tools (auto-update, app center) provide. I understand this directory is how some developers (games etc) accomplish this, but when I add the line
Extension Category="windows.mutablePackageDirectories"
my UWP app refuses to compile, even on VS2019 16.5 preview
