Hi,
I know how to check build version of the installed Windows store app on Windows 8.1 Tablet\PC. I followed below steps in Windows 8.1 device to check build version,
1. Go to start screen and tap on tile to open windows app.
2. Then go to the right side bottom and open charm bar and click on setting icon.
3. Then setting fly out menu will open and click on Permission. Here we get build version of the open app in Windows 8.1 Device.
But there is no charm bar in Windows 10 Tablet\PC. So how to check open Windows app build version on Windows 10 Tablet\PC
Please reply me asap. Thanks in advance.

Well,
If this app is developed by yourself, then I am afraid this might not be the right place to ask this question.
Currently I have no idea how the self-build Windows 8.1 apps worked in Windows 10, you may take a look at the App UI design part in the article below:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/app-settings/guidelines-for-app-settings
Or consider ask for APP UI change/Design related question to clear your doubt, through the link below.

Programmatically, check the Package.Id.Version
Non-programmatically check the app may display version info in its settings as defined by the app. On desktop you can use PowerShell's get-appxpackage to check the version.
Since your current steps aren't developer oriented I assume you're not looking for a developer solution and so I'll move this to TechNet for you. The folks there are more likely to know if there's a general non-programmatic way analogous to your Windows 8.1 steps.

Hi,
Follow the below steps to check the Windows Store app version:
The method might be different but almost the same.
Find the three docs or three dashes, then click it and find the Settings, scrow down to find the about this app information, there would display the app version.
See my Picture:
Or as Rob suggested, take use of the PowerShell command Get-Appxpackage to check the app version.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have developed Windows 8.1 store app. I know how to check build version for Windows 8.1 device but not in Windows 10. I have followed your screenshots but when I create app package as developer and installed it on Windows 10 device at that time I find three dashes icon but when tap on setting there is no About Us to show app version. I have not uploaded app package on Windows store. Just create app package and install it through power shell.
Please provide the steps to find build version of installed app. I know how to show it through programmatically.
