That's the point. In OSGeo4W (and in turn the msis) 3.40.10 can only be an qgis-ltr (or qgis-ltr-dev), while 4.0 can only be qgis (or qgis-rel-dev). So the link shortcut should be different (qgis-bin.exe vs. qgis-ltr-bin.exe). So it can't even be a OSGeo4W update - how ever that could be initiated silently automatically, because that wouldn't uninstall qgis-ltr and install qgis. An update would just update qgis-ltr to 3.44. I suppose there is something else going on outside of the installer that determines that 4.0 is the latest release, fetches the latest MSI and removes the installed one upfront - without any action on our part. Maybe "it" just detects that there are more downloads in the QGIS-OSGeo4W-\d+-\d+.msi scheme with QGIS-OSGeo4W-4.0.2-1.msi being the latest. Jürgen -- Jürgen E.
