Microsoft seems to be adding version numbers to installed apps in the Microsoft Store

The Microsoft Store should be the weakest among all the application stores that come with mainstream operating systems. Microsoft deliberately cuts off many basic functions, such as update dates.

The reason for this is that the Microsoft Store is filled with a large number of applications that have not been updated for a long time. Microsoft does not want users to see this information so as not to think that the Microsoft Store is tasteless.

At the same time, the Microsoft Store does not provide the version number of the application. Only after the user installs the application can the version number or release time be seen in the About of the application.

In the recent update, Microsoft seems to be providing the version numbers of installed applications for the Microsoft Store. When users go to the store interface of a particular application, they can see the version number.

Such as Google Play Store or Apple Store provide application update date and update log, and also include information such as the version number and version history of the application.

These can be said to be the essential basic functions of the application store, but the Microsoft Store does not. In the recent update, Microsoft only added the version number of the installed application.

For example, you can see the version number of the installed application on the interface of a particular application. If the interface does not prompt to update, it means that the user has installed the latest version of the application.

The German technology website Deskmodder.de first discovered this change, but the feature is still too tasteless. To be honest, we do not think it has any practical significance.

The main reason is that the automatic update of the Microsoft Store is enabled by default and does not require users to check the version number, and the recently updated applications will also be automatically displayed in the personal library.
