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.

You can verify from PowerShell by running this command:

Get-AppPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller

Hi TIMOTHY_MANGAN ,
This link says that downgrade is supported in Windows 10 2004.
