Same issue - as far as I can remember the built-in |
Another report in 3496365-zen. |
For those seeing an error on update, please do a manual install of version 2.1. The issue should be fixed going forward. #2440 We're aware of a separate issue with the installer hanging, so I'm leaving this open for now. |
Another report here 3507015- zen. Will ask them to do the manual install of version 2.1 but just wanted to add it to the report |
This was reported in #2478 with a request to disable the update available dialog. |
Regarding the work-around: Microsoft Store does not mention:
|
Hi @gubrist, as far as I can tell this is a (annoying!) limitation of the Windows Store. I've been unable to find any apps that show their version. Do you know of any that do? I found an old conversation about this online and it seems nothing has changed. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_store/windows-store-apps-versions/cf390eb1-1676-41c1-91bb-ff1ec2ad3c2e |
It was reported in 3532157-zen that the user was having version 2.0.0 installed from the Windows Store, receiving the notification to update the app to version 2.2.0. However, the updated version was 2.1.0 instead. |
Another report in 3534808-zen that the user received an update notification for 2.2.0 but can only install 2.1.0 from the Windows Store. Screenshots can be found in the ticket. |
The user has 2.1.0 installed but they were prompted to update from 2.0.0 to 2.2.0 in 3535232-zen. |
User replied they are currently on the 2.0.0. (3535232-zen)
|
Another one here 3537565-zen version 2.0.0 |
Windows store has updated meanwhile to 2.2.0 |
Another one here #3573024-zen The version of the Simplenote (that cannot be updated) is: Suggested to manually update |

@pachlava Was this user on 2.0.0 or a later version? |
@codebykat They did not mention, and seeing that the problem looks exactly like the one described here, I did not ask and just I gave them instructions on how to install store-free version, and asked if this help with the issue. Should I additionally ask for the version they had? |
@pachlava If their issue is solved there's no need to get this information, but it would be good to know in the future if folks are still reporting issues. We haven't had many reports of this lately so if we do have reports of a bug in a version later than 2.0.0, we would want to look into it. Conversely if someone has 2.0.0 and can't update, and their issue is resolved with a manual update, we don't really need to track that as it is a known problem and has been fixed (but obviously the nature of the bug is such that they will need to manually update from 2.0.0). |

This was reported once again with 2.6.0 in 3729084-zen |
Yep, experiencing this yet again to upgrade to 2.6.0
Also having this problem, on 2.5.0 going to 2.6.0. Must have clicked |
Same on 3732630-zen: when you try to update to 2.6.0, the version returns to 2.5.0

Any updates on the installer hanging issue? Don't really want to use the Windows Store version since it might be an older version?? |
Hi @Luna5521, we're trying to get the Windows Store version updated. Sorry for the oversight. |
Hi @codebykat, thank you for your reply. |
We've been investigating it but we don't yet know what the issue is, sorry. |

@thabotswana 1.20.0 is an ANCIENT version and probably did have the bug in the updater. Please ask them to install manually to the latest (by uninstalling first after ensuring they are synced / have backed up their notes). It's not like we'll ever be able to retroactively fix updater bugs in versions from years ago, so it's a bit more interesting to track if this bug is happening on more recent versions. 😅 |
Closing due to no recent reports. |
We currently have several reports of folks trying to install Simplenote Windows 1.20 from Github directly, and the installer hangs and never finishes.
One user was able to figure out a workaround, which is downloading directly from the Windows Store:
