My current version of Vs2019 is 16.1.3
Updating done from help -> check for updates .But it still shows the same version as the latest, however in microsoft website , the latest at the moment is Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7
Try launching the visual studio installer directly. Search the start menu for "Visual Studio Installer" and open it. It will offer you to upgrade to the latest version.

I'm currently facing some issues with the latest Visual Studio 2019 version (16.7.0) and I want to go back to a previous version, specifically 16.6.2. However on the VS website I can't find a place where to download a specific version of Visual Studio, so is there a way (even non official) to download this version?
Officially, Microsoft provides older installer for VS 2019, but only the Enterprise, Professional, and Build Tools. Meanwhile Community edition
is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio
So if you expect to be needing VS Community older version in the future, I suggest backing up the offline installer when they're released.
In case you need to install a specific version of the Community Edition you can download VS 20XX Professional Edition with the desired version and then, during installation, just select the Community Edition.
Steps:
Download the installer with the required version (release history for VS2022)
Open the installer and when the Workloads screen appears, close it to view the setup screen behind.
On the setup screen go to the "Available" tab
Choose the Community Edition (or the one you need...)
you can download the older version of Visual studio 2019:

For VS2022, the list is here:

I am running 16.3.4 so I assume it already should include updates from an earlier preview version?
Mentioned here
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/say-hello-to-the-new-visual-studio-terminal/
This is all I see under the 'View' menu
...and this under 'Other windows'
See this in the 'preview features' section of Environment. Terminal nowhere to be found?
As per the blog article -
This new preview experience is part of Visual Studio version 16.3
Preview 3.
So the Terminal is not available in Visual Studio version 16.3.4.
Also, I installed Visual Studio Professional 2019 preview version 16.4.0 Preview 1.0 and the Terminal is still in there.
I currently have installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise version 15.9.15 (the latest available in Visual Studio Installer). I want to downgrade to version 15.9.11 due to some issues in my project. I have the installer for 15.9.11 but every time I run the installer, Visual Studio Installer is trying to install the 15.9.15 version.
I've tried with different versions but Visual Studio Installer always switches to 15.9.15 regardless. Is there any other way to downgrade? I've searched online but with no luck.
I am currently using Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and the version is 15.4.5.
This week Microsoft has released version 15.5 which has many feature that I need. For example, the Remoted iOS simulator for Windows.
The Visual Studio is neither showing the update notification message and nor showing in the Product updates section.
The only option I see is to download the latest version as offline installation and install it.
Is there a shortcut to update to 15.5?
As suggested by #Sergey Vlasov the comments to my question above, the below answer in stackoverflow helped me. This is the only way to update Visual Studio if there is No notification message shown or the Update is not listed in the Product updates menu option inside Visual Studio 2017.
Manually update Visual Studio 2017
I updated my Visual Studio 2015 RTM from Update 1 to Update 2 and now my Cordova project won't open. I get the following error message instead of my project files:
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual
Studio.
I've installed the following hot fix and rebooted my machine and it made no difference:

The only option I get for that project is to edit my .jsproj file. But I haven't a clue what I'd have to change to make it work.
Here's my version info for Visual Studio:
How do I get my project to work with the new update to Visual Studio 2015?
For what ever reason, Visual Studio seemed to remove the Tools for Apache Cordova and I had to reinstall them from scratch. Once I'd reapplied version 8.1 of the tools, the project loaded up just fine.
