Help samsung s5 won't download app updates

For some weird reason, I experienced something similar as well. Happens intermittently, probably to do with the app update or Play Store update. What I do when I experience is I unmount the SD card. Just go to settings>storage>SD card>unmount. When I update the apps with the SD card unmounted, it works. Possibly the app trying to install to SD card for some reason. Sometimes it doesn't happen. Anyway, if the app was moved to SD card, you of course need to move it back to phone storage before doing this.
