I've been working on an UWP app lately. I've created app release package from VS 19 by using Publish -> create app packages -> sideloading -> signed and proceeded.

I set the version as 1.0.x.0 (1.0.1.0/1.0.2.0 . . . . ) in the package.appmanifest file as version too.

Upon installing from the created app package the app appears in the start menu. From there I checked More -> App Settings enter image description here

But when i run the app and check by the path below the runnable exe shows version 1.0.0.0

  1. Run app -> Win key + X key -> Run Task Manager
  2. App -> right-click -> Go to Details -> Select app.exe to right-click -> Properties -> Select Details

Can anyone help me on what i've been missing?

Here's a picture after the checking from task manager

The properties window which you open from task manager shows properties of the executable file of your app. This file can have a different version than the application package.

If you are using.NET to create your executable file, you need to change properties of the assembly to change File Version and Product Version for the executable file.
