Desktop Windows App: Unable to use thumbs up or down

On the playlist I use frequently, for some tracks I can't use thumbs-up or thumbs-down. For most other tracks, thumbs work fine. I'm using the desktop Windows10 app (client?). What's going on?

That version of the app still does not appear to be the correct one, @mccomments.

Can you please send me a video link showing you downloading the app through the link I proivded?

Thanks again!

@mccomments Thanks for continuing to work with me on this.
 
I can confirm that the version of the desktop app that is being downloaded onto your device is older and no longer supported by Pandora.
 
The Microsoft store can get into a bad state where it will not grab the new version of apps or fails to install them.
 
I recommend the following steps to see if they will help.
  • First, uninstall the Pandora app.
  • Check for any updates available for your Windows device.
  • Check for any updates available for the Microsoft Store App.
  • Try Pandora once again.

Thanks again for the help!  I did everything you advised above including everything in the Support page link you provided:

Pandora reset app in windows.jpg

After all that, the Pandora Version remains 0.0.0 (though in Settings, the version appears to be 13.0.39.1000).  As you can see in the image above, Pandora was not listed in "Programs and Features."

I'm curious.... When you search for Pandora in the Windows store, are you seeing a different version than I keep seeing?  Can I get the Pandora desktop app directly through Pandora's website?

In case it helps, here is an updated brief video showing how Pandora's thumbs won't work.

This is after following all suggestions.

Is there another way to get the proper Pandora desktop app other than the MS Store which is apparently offering the wrong one?

Thanks for being so patient with us @mccomments!

Unfortunately, the only way to install the Pandora App onto your desktop is through the MS Store.

However, our engineers are still investigating this issue and we have reported all feedback that you've provided. All updates pertaining to this issue will be posted on this thread.

In the meantime, I suggest listening to Pandora through your web browser from our website.

We appreciate your patience in the meantime!
