Why aren't apps updating in the background?

This has started showing up for some reason, suggesting that instead of updating my apps in the background, Google Play is waiting until I open an app to check for updates. Is there like a setting somewhere I need to change?

  • At this point F-Droid works better than the Play Store in that regard.

    • Yupp. I am having auto update off actually, because I like to know what apps are getting an update but even manually checking doesn't work well.

      I might remember to check for updates, go in, hit refresh and it says no updates there. OK. Good. Then 10 minutes later I get a notification, there are 10 apps to be updated! Not sure why it didn't work 10 minutes ago, but well, whatever.
