Is there a page from where you can download older versions of Visual Studio 2022 Community? I'm having problems with 17.10.4 and I want to download 17.8, but the page to download VS only gives the latest version for Community (being 17.10.4 at the moment).

I didn't realize it isn't that easy, so I uninstalled VS completely. If knew I would have rolled back to 17.6 with which I didn't really had problems but I wanted to update to gain access to a feature added in 17.8.

    Hello @sValentin ,

    Is there a page from where you can download older versions of Visual Studio 2022 Community?

    I didn’t realize it isn’t that easy.

    I’m afraid, it’s true, only the latest version of VS 2022 Community is available.

    The Visual Studio Community edition is supported only on the Current Channel with the latest servicing release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio(see this document for more details: Community edition support).

    I’m having problems with 17.10.4

    What kind of problem, is it reported on Developer Community(maybe as a known issue)?

    Since previous version of VS Professional and Enterprise are available(here => Fixed version bootstrappers), do you consider using VS Professional/Enterprise(17.8) as a temporarily workaround(You can evaluate a free trial of VS Professional or VS Enterprise for 30 days)?

    Best Regards,

    Tianyu
