How to Install/Update PDMShell
PDMShell can be installed or updated from our official website or via the Microsoft Store. For the best experience, we highly recommend downloading PDMShell from our official website to ensure you always have the latest version.
Note
The Microsoft Store does not automatically update PDMShell. If you installed PDMShell via the Microsoft Store, you may need to uninstall it and reinstall the latest version manually.
