We update Visual Studio frequently to provide you with new features, performance and reliability improvements, security updates, and bug fixes.

With Visual Studio 2022, we make multiple feature versions available simultaneously so that our Enterprise and Professional customers have flexibility and control as to when they adopt feature updates. These different versions are available on the Current channel and the long-term servicing channels (LTSCs). The latest release on each channel is always, by definition, the most secure, so we highly encourage customers to stay up to date regardless of what channel they choose to get updates from. Refer to our support policy or our release rhythm documentation for additional information.

The Visual Studio Community edition is only supported on the Current channel using the latest version of Visual Studio.

Release Notes

Updating your installation to a specific release

If you are an Enterprise or Professional customer and need to install or update to a specific release of Visual Studio, you can find the available bootstrappers in the tables below. In addition to installing or updating your product to a particular version, the bootstrappers will also "stamp" your installation or layout with the correct channel identification. The channel identification is important, because it's how Administrator updates recognize which instances of the product needs to be updated.

You also have the option of downloading the Administrator Update package from the Microsoft Update Catalog to update either your client instance or your network layout. Updating via this method only changes the version, not the channel. Additional instructions for how to create or maintain your network layout can be found in the Visual Studio Administrators Guide or the Update a network based installation of Visual Studio documentation.

Uninstalling Visual Studio to go back to an earlier release

If you need to install an earlier release of Visual Studio, then you must uninstall your current installation and use one of the links below to re-install the version that you prefer. Before attempting to install a previous version of Visual Studio 2022, refer to our support policy. Microsoft does not guarantee support outside of this policy.

  1. On Windows, open the Visual Studio Installer.
  2. Uninstall all instances of Visual Studio 2022 listed in the Visual Studio Installer.
  3. From Programs and Features in the Control Panel, find "Microsoft Visual Studio 2022", and uninstall it.

If you are unable to follow the steps above due to a corrupted install, follow the steps to Remove Visual Studio with the InstallCleanup.exe tool

Note that uninstalling Visual Studio will not remove standalone products and components such as .NET, SQL, IIS, Visual C++ Redistributables, and SDKs. These may need to be removed manually from Apps and Features in Windows Settings.

Release Dates and Build numbers

This section provides links to all of the publicly released bootstrappers for Visual Studio 2022. The bootstrappers kick off Visual Studio's installation process. Again, only the latest releases of the Current or LTSC channels are supported.

To verify what version and channel a given bootstrapper will install, right click on the bootstrapper exe, choose Properties, Details, and look at the Product Version information. The version number should always be read as "latest of that version". The channel defaults to Current unless explicitly specified. So, a bootstrapper with a Product Version of LTSC 17.0 would install the latest 17.0.x servicing release that is available on the LTSC channel.

Evergreen bootstrappers

The bootstrappers in the following table will always install the latest release from their respective channel.
