Build Number?
How-To Geek says I can find the build number, etc. like this:
Use the Settings App The new Settings application also offers this information in a user-friendly form. To launch it, click or tap the Start button and select Settings. Navigate to System About and scroll down. You’ll see the “Version” and “Build” numbers here. Edition: The “Edition” line tells you which edition of Windows 10 you’re using — Windows 10 Home, Professional, Enterprise, or Education. If you’d like to upgrade to Windows 10 Professional, you can upgrade to the Professional edition from within Windows 10. Switching to Windows 10 Enterprise or Education editions will require a complete reinstall and a special key that isn’t made available to normal home Windows users. Build Number: Look at the “Version” and “OS Build” lines. If you have the original version of Windows 10, you’ll just see “OS Build 10240”. This was the initial release of Windows 10. If you have the “November Update” version of Windows 10 — Windows 10’s first big update — you’ll see a new version number scheme here. It’ll say “Version 1511 (OS Build 10576.29)”. The “1511” is the key. This number identifies that you’re using the build of Windows 10 released in November (the 11th month) of 2015. If Microsoft were to release a build of Windows 10 in April (the 4th month) of 2016, its version number would be “Version 1604”. I have Win10 Home and there are no lines for "Version" or "OS Build"!! |

In reality 10586 is window dressing, it has one feature I like (changing title bar colours) but that ought never to have been removed in the first place, and should have been a few hundred kB to add back, not a GB of re-install ... |

If you've been on 10240 since Nov 12, then you should already have received at least one of these cumulative updates - 10586.3, 10586.10, 10586.14, 10586.17 - before 10586.29 the latest available via Windows Update. -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |

Can you point me to where I can add color to title bars? I have searched all through the Settings menus and have come up empty (kinda like my lily white title bars). -- SC Tom |

Start, Settings, Personalisation, Colours pick an accent colour then scroll down and enable "show colour on Start ..." Thanks, I found it after I posted. The problem (or I guess the solution to the problem) was that I had to turn it off, then back on for it to "take." I had been there before, and set the color I wanted, but it never affected the title bars until today when I switched it off/on. Now if they would allow us to round off those sharp corners. . . :-) -- SC Tom |
