Hi together, already existing installations have informed some time ago that there is a new client version for Windows (3.4) and did automatically upgrade. Since I have to roll-out a whole bunch of new clients, I’d like to install them with 3.4 too but at the Nextcloud-Website 3.3.6 is still named…

Hi Jochen, I guess your clients had update channel “beta”, not stable. (You can change this in the client settings). Version 3.4 is not a final release yet. If you really want pre-releases, you can find them on the github page (click “assets” under the desired release) [image] Releases…

Hi tdoerschel something seems to be mixed up. The impressum of my client says: “Version 3.4.0stable-Win64 (build 20211129)” STABLE! And that’s the download channel setting which my client is configuered as far as I remember (I can’t find this setting in 3.4.0 anymore :frowning: ).

@haensli1 You are right, in my linux and windows boxes the clients were automaticaly updated and after that v3.4 was pulled out from the repositorys. I’m still using v3.4 without any problem until now. I’m using NC22 also. It seems that the problem doesn’t happen in most installations. Is up to …

@tdoerschel - no Torsten. I can confirm: 3.4 was announced as STABLE for many, many clients. That’s ONE CORE reason, many have got issues now (like me).

I do see this as a consequence of the rapid release cycles. There is a conflict between established users whose priorities are first and foremost ‘stability’ and then, and only then, performance and functionality. Whereas Nextcloud itself is positioning itself to expand into more innovative markets…

Have to say that I too would prefer to upgrade as little as possible. I want rock solid performance over bells and whistles. I can think of a few code slinging companies who valued bells and whistles over security and usability…

Install the 3.3.6, you may find it in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Nextcloud

According to the Nextcloud site ( Releases · nextcloud/desktop · GitHub ) version 3.3.6 is the latest stable release of the Windows Desktop App.

Man, Nextcloud really goes downhill with release quality.
My recent favourite: Make press releases for Hub II (23.0.0) collabora integration aka “Nextcloud Office”, but then this:
