Windows version out of date?

I was trying to help a friend add his windows device as a second profile but both the QR and Backup options returned “update this device” despite being a fresh DC install. I’m assuming this means the windows store is out of date, but attempting to circumvent that through the DC site just still installs through the windows store. Is there a bypass to get the current version on Windows or just “wait for now?”

He is running Arcane Chat on the mobile, if that makes a difference.

Version in the store:
