The MuseScore version in the Microsoft Store is still on version 3.3.4
Windows 10 users of the "S" version (School?) can install only from the Microsoft Store, so are cut off of updates currently and since quite a while.
Getting that version updsated has been promissed since quote a while, yet it has not happened so far.
It might (not sure) be possible to use the PortableApp (furtunately availavle since 3.5, see #309861: MuseScore 3.5 is not available on the PortableApps.com site & Platform application), as a workaround
Comments
Actually this issue had come up in the forums (and the issue tracker, as a side issue) quite many times
We could not update MuseScore in Microsoft Store for now. Maybe it is possible to use MuseScore portable for Windows.
That is a workaround indeed. Unless the installation prevents downloads and/or USB thumb drives, which schools for example might do
@epicPointer : what is preventing the version in the Microsoft store to get updated?
If we can't update it, it should get revoked, removed from the store, IMHO better than an outdated version and a broken (implicit) promise to keep it up-to-date

Deleted.
I would even pay a subscription for a guarantee to have timely updates in the Store.
