Play Store Update Stuck in Deep Sleep

[Will_T]

My S22 Ultra has been doing this for a while even though I keep it updated. Searching online mainly gives me suggestions as to updating sleeping Play Store app, not how to fix the Play Store app itself from going into deep sleep. Android keeps putting the Play Store App in deep sleep saying it is sending unnecessary notifications. I have tried all I can find to fix, including allowing all notifications from the app, allowing unrestricted battery, clearing the app cache, clearing the entire phone cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, etc. Still, I can set it the app to allow notifications, etc, and remove it from deepsleep, then go out of the app and right back in and it is in deep sleep again. Now this morning manually checking my phone updates, it said I had a security update. I started the download and it gets stuck at 1%. Have rebooted the phone and it repeats the stall. Not sure if the two things are related or not, but the main question for this post is to get ideas as to how to get the Play Store app to work correctly, notifying me of updates and not being put into deep sleep. Thanks!

edit: Just now I uninstalled the PS Update app again and now can't seem to find it to reinstall.

Also found this saying the January Security update is broken so that is unrelated to my Play Store Update app issue: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s24-series/system-security-update/td-p/11488491

To update your Play Store again, open it, then tap your profile pic at the upper right, then Settings>About>Play Store Version. You should see an option to Update Play Store there.

Thanks. I tried that and it says the app is set to update, but then it does not seem to do it? Unless there is a big delay from when you do this until it finally decides to update. I also looked in the Playstore App itself on my phone and there are no new updates available. Kind of confusing.

The Play Store app update isn't always immediate. I'm not sure what the range is, but it might be up to a few hours.
