[BUG] AppInstaller ShowPrompt="false" shows "Checking for updates" pop-up when internet is off #681

MSIX SDK or Win7Msix

Describe the bug

I have an MSIX application where I want the updates to be checked on every app launch hence I have set HoursBetweenUpdateChecks to 0 in the AppInstaller file.

I want the updates to be done in the background hence I set ShowPrompt to false. However, on every app launch, the users are still seeing a "Checking for updates" pop-up.

The docs don't mention clearly what the behaviour of the ShowPrompt property is. Is there some other way to disable the "Checking for updates" pop-up for users while still checking for updates on every app launch?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use the following update settings in AppInstaller file:

<UpdateSettings>
  <OnLaunch 
    HoursBetweenUpdateChecks="0"
    ShowPrompt="false"
    UpdateBlocksActivation="false" 
  />
</UpdateSettings>

Turn the internet off then launch the app.

Expected behavior

No pop-ups related to update process.
