Microsoft store version powershell should be up-to-date

See original GitHub issue

I’ve noticed that powershell version in GitHub, Nuget and Winget distribution are all up-to-date to 7.1.2. I just can’t believe that powershell version in microsoft store distribution is still 7.1.1, while preview sticks to v7.2.0-preview.2.And winget’s preview sticks to v7.2.0-preview.2 as well. I thought that ms store and winget are designed to be official package manager in Windows 10, but ❓. I think microsoft official should better ensure version up-to-date on microsoft own distribution channel It is really unhappy to see

   A new PowerShell stable release is available: v7.1.2
   Upgrade now, or check out the release page at:
     https://aka.ms/PowerShell-Release?tag=v7.1.2

while you have no way to deal with it in microsoft-store-delivered powershell

I think this get’s attention because a new PowerShell instance informs about the newer release available, which isn’t delivery through the store yet. With other distribution methods, like manual install scoop the update would be available already.

But somehow windows terminal can update microsoft-store version the day github releases, I think there might be something to do with it. It’s just a personal opinion

This is because the store or MSIX store package is the only supported way to get Terminal; we do not have an MSI or ZIP install, so we don’t run the risk of them getting out-of-sync.
