Can't refresh snap-store

i've started to use Ubuntu last month. I'm getting this error in the terminal while i'm trying to refresh snap-store

$ sudo snap refresh snap-store
error: cannot refresh "snap-store": snap "snap-store" has running apps (ubuntu-software)

Any ideas how to solve this?

Working for me:

ps -e | grep snap-store #id blocking process
kill #id
sudo snap refresh

Snaps will be automatically updated according to thedocumentation.

snap packages that are open or running, cannot be refreshed.

You need to close the running snap package before you can update/refresh it

ie. close ubuntu-software as per your error message.
