The Install updates code snippet had a "// Save app state here" comment followed by "app will terminate here" but never explained what app state is or why it matters. Installing a Store package update via RequestDownloadAndInstallStorePackageUpdatesAsync terminates the app to replace its files, so unsaved runtime/session data is lost unless the developer persists it first. Adds an explanatory paragraph to the Install updates section defining app state and how it applies, with a link to the app-data persistence guidance.

Replace the em dash with a colon and drop the italic emphasis on 'app state'; this file has no emdashes and its only emphasis convention is bold for UI labels, so plain text fits the term definition.
