Updating WinDbg Preview

I have installed WinDbg Preview from Microsoft Store and I use it a lot, because the usability is so much better than the old versions.

I now became aware that there's a new version of WinDbg: 1.2308.2002.0. However, the Microsoft store says that I already have the latest version - which is 1.2306.14001.0

How can I update WinDbg Preview?

After updating the Windows AppInstaller from the MS app store, the install works on 21 Nov 2023.

well this is a batch script that i used to run a latest windbg when the appinstaller / powershell spat out access denied errors and uninstallable errors

wget --quiet --continue  --no-check-certificate -O windbg.appinstaller https://aka.ms/windbg/download
grep -ioP "htt.*bundle" windbg.appinstaller > msix.txt
wget --quiet --continue  --no-check-certificate -i msix.txt
7z.exe x windbg.msixbundle 
7z.exe x *x64.msix -owindbgnew
cd windbgnew
start dbgx.shell.exe

WinDbg Preview is no longer WinDbg Preview. It's now WinDbg officially. The preview will not receive updates through the Microsoft Store any longer.

Instead, you get the official version through aka.ms/windbg and it will have the new UI.

The old official versions are now called "WinDbg classic".
