    Kragunath Version downgrade is supported on Windows 10 2004.  The functionality to let a user double-click and downgrade an app was added through an app update.  Make sure you have the latest version of the Desktop App Installer app for this experience.  

     

    I believe the latest version is: 1.0.32912.0

     

    You can verify from PowerShell by running this command:

    Get-AppPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller

What version OS are you testing on?

 

I don't remember if that was added in 1909 or 2004 but I am pretty sure there is a minimum on the downgrade feature.
