Upgrade to 115.3.1 Not Happening
I was running an older version of Thunderbird (don't ask the version because the About screen now shows 115.3.1) that had a bland color scheme (best way to describe it) that I downloaded about 6 months ago. When I first opened TB today (before attempting an upgrade) I got a screen talking about the benefits of 115.3.1 and showing colorful screens with more options than I had with the current TB. With TB open, I went to Help > About Thunderbird and the screen showed an upgrade to 115.3.1 was available. I believe I clicked Upgrade (but the upgrade may have started on its own) and the new software downloaded. I saw a message saying I had to restart to complete the upgrade and assumed that meant restart my PC. I closed all applications and restarted the computer. Opening TB, I get the same old bland screen, definitely not 115.3.1. Going to Help > About Thunderbird now gets me the message that "Thunderbird is up to date." What did I do wrong and/or what should I do to get 115.3.1 installed and functioning? I'm running Windows 11. Thanks in advance.

What version does it currently show as being installed?
My suggestion is to download the latest release and install over the top of what you have.
Wayne: Version installed shows as 115.3.1.
David: I will try that now.
Just tried reloading TB 115.3.1. I accepted the default storage location but declined when asked if I wanted to make TB my default mail program. Opened TB and nothing changed. Still shows 115.3.1 installed. I've got to believe I'm doing something wrong but don't know what. Do I need to completely uninstall TB and start from scratch?
It's not clear to me what is happening, but if it says 115.3.1 then I am certain that is what is displaying. So we need to see what is displayed. Please post a screen shot.
Here's a screenshot. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.
That screenshot is definitely 115.

Yes it is.
I see my problem after reading the intro: the "old" look is the default even after downloading the new version. I guess I understand that but as a suggestion for future releases it would be nice to make it crystal clear the user needs to somehow force the program into the new configuration.
Thanks to all who responded.
