Ο Artem Rusakovskii of Android Police, posted some instructions - allowing him to post comments to Google about the problem in the Play Store. In fact, he still managed to successfully update some of the applications, although at the end a blank page appeared with the message "The application was not found".

This problem is unrelated to the device manufacturer, and is more common on devices that have been upgraded to Android 10. So it seems that some of the updates were made automatically by Google for the Play Store, caused this problem, and Google is expected to confirm it and work on fixing it.

So if you see something similar happening on your device, do not seek unjustly to find out what is causing it, and do not bother with your phone settings without knowing what you are bothering.

Just go to Settings> Applications> Application manager> Google Play Store, and see if it gives you the option for Uninstall updates. If it gives you this option, try it and immediately restart your device, in case the problem is solved in your case.

Otherwise wait for the next upgrade from the one that will solve the problem.
