Windows Store version remains on old version

[weiw11]

Overview

Windows Store version does not auto-update to version 2.7.6 despite being installed. There is also no "update" button available, only "Installed".

Version either does not update properly, or Windows Store determined there is no update.

Had to reinstall to be on latest version 2.7.6.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have existing 2.7.5 KeePassXC version from Windows Store
2. Update 2.7.6 available, and based on Windows Store, appears to be updated.
3. Open KeePassXC and check for version, but still remains on 2.7.5.

Expected Behavior

App should reflect the latest version 2.7.6 after updating.

Actual Behavior

App version remains on 2.7.5, with no "Update" button available on Windows Store.

Context

Below debug information is after updating, as I do not know if it's possible to download older versions from Windows Store.

This is a Windows store problem, not a KeePassXC problem. Win32 apps cannot auto-update via the store.

Hi @phoerious, CMIIW Win32 apps themselves are responsible for self-upgrading even if it is distributed via the store, see microsoft/winget-cli#2875.

Yes and that's stupid. We have no automatic self-update on any platform. What's the point of a store if not a) ensuring authenticity and b) just as importantly, performing automatic updates?

[bdbai]

@phoerious I think automatic updates will be possible, given we manage to publish KeePassXC as a MSIX package. Some related discussion here #2367.

Yes, I am aware, but thanks. 😉
