Description of the new feature/enhancement

I have installed terminal on my office system (through a long and lengthy process I could get access to Microsoft Store for a day). Normally this would not be the issue as all the other software I use does not depend on Microsoft Store for an update, usually, there is a "Check for Updates" option, but with Terminal its not the case (or at least I did not see it).
As per company policy, I will not get permanent access to store. it would be nice to have an option to update the Terminal without having to go to Microsoft Store.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Expected: An option to check for updates and install available updates without having to depend on Microsoft Store.
