Re: [Qgis-user] Updating QGIS version

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 15:40:43 -0700

Most Qgis installers for Windows do not do an update in place. Instead they install an additional version of Qgis. This allows you to keep running an earlier version of Qgis at the same time as the newer one. This might be helpful in some cases, but because it's atypical of most Windows programs, it is confusing the first time you encounter this. The desktop or taskbar icon for your previous version remains connected to the old version. You have to create a new shortcut to access the new version. Once you are satisfied that the new version hasn't broken any functionality you need, just go ahead and uninstall the old version and delete any shortcuts you have created.
Beware that in some cases a newer version of Qgis will write a project file that is not backwards compatible. If you open an old project, you will be warned that saving it will render old versions unable to open it.

I find that windows will open the version I installed but continue to say the previous version when I open it by searching windows. In  my case it says 3.18 but opens 3.26. Could this be happening to you?

Hello,
I have QGIS 3.20 version. I was planning on updating to the latest version without uninstalling the current version. I have downloaded and installed  "OSGeo4W Installer" from the following webpage. The QGIS did not update to 3.26 version. My QGIS is still 3.20 version. Can anyone please help me fix this?
