update all apps does not work

Since the previous version of iTunes and including the new one I just installed (11.3) doe not work as expected, or as it used to. When I check for my installed Apps, and there are more than one app to update, I click the option in the bottom right that says 'Update all apps', but when you do that, it only updates the first one, and you then have to click it again for each individual app. What is the purpose of an 'Update ALL apps' if it doesn't do that?

Also, why has the option to sign in and stay signed in gone? I used to be able to do that, so when I opened iTunes I was automatically logged in and could continue, but now I have to login each time I open iTunes. This is annoying.

Thanks for the help.
