Is the Microsoft Store (win32/64) release no longer being maintained? It's still on version 3.0.16, while the .exe installer from videolan.org is on version 3.0.20.

As dack42 indicates version 3.0.16, they are referring to the Microsoft Store page for the Win32/Win64 desktop version of VLC provided by VideoLAN, not VLC UWP.

Searching for VLC in the Microsoft Store will result in hits on this desktop version page, so many users will download from here.
This also has the advantage of faster downloads because the installer is hosted by Microsoft.

On the other hand, this page is not linked from the VideoLAN project page, making it difficult to confirm that it is an official release.

Therefore, it would be beneficial for many to update the version distributed on this page to 3.0.20 and link to it from the VideoLAN project page.
