 ## -returns
 An asynchronous operation that, on successful completion, returns a collection of [StorePackageUpdate](storepackageupdate.md) objects that represent the packages that have updates available.
 
+## -exceptions
+### T:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
+
+If the **ErrorCode** property of the exception has the value 0x80070578 (ERROR_INVALID_WINDOW_HANDLE), this indicates that the method was not called on the UI thread. If you are calling this method in a desktop application that uses the Desktop Bridge, this can also indicate that you did not configure the [StoreContext](storecontext.md) object to specify which application window is the owner window for modal dialogs shown by this method. For more information, see [this article](/windows/uwp/monetize/in-app-purchases-and-trials#desktop).
+
+### T:System.Exception
+
+The method may throw exceptions when the Microsoft Store service is unavailable or not properly configured. Common scenarios include:
+
+- **"Object server is stopping when OLE service contacts it"**: This error typically occurs when the Microsoft Store service is not running, is shutting down, or when there are issues with the Windows Store infrastructure. This can happen if:
+  - The Windows Store app is not installed or is corrupted
+  - The Microsoft Store service is disabled or not running
+  - There are permission issues accessing the Store service
+  - The system is in an inconsistent state during shutdown or startup
+
+- **Service unavailable errors**: Network connectivity issues or Microsoft Store service outages can cause the operation to fail.
+
 ## -remarks
 For more information about using this method, including a code example, see [Download and install package updates for your app](/windows/uwp/packaging/self-install-package-updates).
 
 After you call GetAppAndOptionalStorePackageUpdatesAsync to determine which packages have updates available, you can call [RequestDownloadStorePackageUpdatesAsync](storecontext_requestdownloadstorepackageupdatesasync_889669938.md) to download the updated packages or you can call [RequestDownloadAndInstallStorePackageUpdatesAsync](storecontext_requestdownloadandinstallstorepackageupdatesasync_1750789617.md) to download and install the updated packages.
 
+### Prerequisites and Environment Requirements
+
+For this method to work correctly, the following conditions must be met:
+
+- **Microsoft Store app**: The Microsoft Store app must be installed and functional on the system.
+- **Microsoft account**: While a signed-in Microsoft account is not strictly required to check for updates, certain scenarios may require authentication.
+- **Store services**: The Microsoft Store licensing and update services must be running and accessible.
+- **Network connectivity**: An active internet connection is required to communicate with the Microsoft Store service.
+
+### Assigned Access Mode Compatibility
+
+This method can be used in Assigned Access (kiosk) mode, but the following considerations apply:
+
+- The assigned access account must have permission to access Microsoft Store services.
+- Network access must be configured to allow communication with Microsoft Store endpoints.
+- Some Store UI elements may be restricted depending on the assigned access configuration.
+
+### Error Handling Recommendations
+
+When calling this method, it's recommended to implement proper error handling:
+
+```csharp
+try
+{
+    var updates = await storeContext.GetAppAndOptionalStorePackageUpdatesAsync();
+    // Process updates
+}
+catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex)
+{
+    // Handle COM-related errors (e.g., threading issues)
+}
+catch (System.Exception ex)
+{
+    // Handle Store service errors (e.g., service unavailable)
+    // Log the error and implement appropriate retry logic
+}
+```
