I can't download a new version of JOSM

I can't download a new version of JOSM. For the .exe file, the only option left is through the Windows Store. But when I go there, it only downloads the installer and opens the version I already have—version 19481.
I've tried this several times now, but I'm not getting anywhere. I also couldn't find a download option on GitHub at a glance.

I can download the *.msi file and the content is from Aug 12. Did you try that?

I see where I went wrong. I overlooked the fact that there’s also an exe file available outside the Windows Store; I thought the sentence meant you were supposed to get the exe from the Windows Store. Still, it’s strange that the latter doesn’t work.

But it worked with the EXE now. I didn’t want to try the MSI file before it messed up my settings—unfortunately, that’s happened to me quite a few times already. Is there any way to save the JOSM settings?

The installer should not change the settings, but it is always a good idea to have a backup, at least the file preferences.xml
Check Help->About->Installation details regarding the paths to JOSM files.
