I almost always launch mp3tag via a Windows context menu option. After installing the new release 3.19, I noticed that launching mp3tag via the context menu opened the prior version, 3.18. Opening mp3tag from the installed desktop shortcut opens 3.19 as expected. After installing 3.19, I found that I now I have 2 copies of mp3tag.exe. **3.19** `C:\Program Files (x86)\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe` **3.18** `C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe` I am sure I can fix my setup, but I assume this is unintended behavior for the installer. When installing 3.19 (and every other prior version) I simply accepted all the installer defaults. ---

The first one is the 32bit-Version of Mp3tag, the installer is called `mp3tagv319setup.exe` The second one is the 64bit-Version of Mp3tag, the installer is called `mp3tagv319-x64-setup.exe` (or in your case was `mp3tagv318-x64-setup.exe`) Could it be that you mixed them? You can have a look in your (windows) control panel for installed software. I assume you will see two different entries? ---

I assume you will see two different entries? No, there is only one entry as they share the same name.

I suggest uninstalling the version listed at the control panel ([backup your settings](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/installation/#backup-and-restore-configuration) and let the uninstaller keep them) and then remove what's left at either C:\Program Files and/or C:\Program Files (x86) manually. After that, reinstall the latest version and all should be good. ---

Yep, that was it. What a dumb mistake, haha. Sorry for the false alarm! ---
