Is it matching now? No, it doesn't. It is currently from Windows 10 1909 (18362). Maybe I am messing up that something known was depending on the match (maybe only on that version being recent enough). But maybe it still makes sense to make it consistent? > >> >> Then, there is a version number hardcoded in >> kernelbase/version.c:version_data[] which is currently 17134, that >> should probably be bumped as well?

Yes, it probably doesn't match now as well. We probably can't make manually switched Win version fully consistent. But still I guess it would be more straightforward if we default to recent enough Win10 with all the known version queries matching for the default case. > >> >> Probably not exactly related but maybe once the default is upgraded >> to Win10 it makes sense to add ReleaseId and DisplayVersion registry >> values?

And DisplayVersion is in fact probably even newer, not sure it actually exists on 1809 (that is, 17763). But also, maybe it would make sense to bump to something newer at once? 17763 is more than 3 years old already and there are apps which refuse to work or at least complain about outdated version (the most fresh requirement I saw so far was 19041, 2004 from May 2020).
