Google play store cannot update apps

[CPhilip]

Hi,

In my S23 FE I cannot update the apps in my Google play store.i have cleared the cache and still it did not work and at one point it was so irritating that app won't work if it is not updated,even if you delete the app and reinstall it won't work.for this I had done factory reset of my phone some were more than 3 weeks back.After doing factory reset,all the apps I am able to update ,but after 2 weeks same problems appeared back 🤨

Anyone faced this issue?or how it can be solved?

Finally it's solved 🙏 by disabling that Samsung macafee auto scan app.
