When I update snap store through Ubuntu Software Centre I get Following Error

Unable to update "Snap Store": (null): cannot refresh "snap-store": snap "snap-store" has running apps (ubuntu-software)

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Screenshot for reference

    Ok it works. Still it's a shame that in the first minutes of running a fresh Ubuntu installation you already get an error that requires running commands to be fixed. Really not user-friendly. – ThCollignon Nov 04 '22 at 07:09
  • What does the kill accomplish? Is it normal/necessary for snap-store to be running in the background? If not, why would it be? In my case, snap refresh worked without killing snap-store, even though I saw the OP's message for days. – sehe Dec 05 '22 at 16:03
  • Oh. I did get a temporary notification https://i.imgur.com/wsApxE6.png even though it says All snaps up to date ¯\(ツ)/¯ – sehe Dec 05 '22 at 16:04
