### Upgrading from Cooker to Cooker.
Always stay on the latest Cooker release, note that the Cooker auto updater might be bug out sometimes. It might be better just to download the latest Cooker file github.
After doing the upgrade make sure you are on the right Cooker version via the ES-DE menu.
Minor releases are released to fix reported issues / bugs.
If a new minor release is out test if the issues are still there and if they are report to the RetroDECK Team via the Beta-Testing channel on discord.
You can always follow the lastest Cooker releases there as well, with direct links to download them.
