Windows 10 anomaly
I am wondering if it’s just my desktop & laptop that are displaying this
anomaly. When checking the windows version and build number there are multiple ways to check. One is modifying the registry by changing the value of 1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop PaintDesktopVersion.to 1. That cause the windows version and build number to be displaying in the lower right hand screen above the task bar. On mine is shows 18362_19h1_release 190318-1202 But if I check the version from a command prompt with the command winver I get 1909 18363.720 And is I check it via Setting System--About I get 1909 18363.720 Why don’t all 3 agree?

Jim They don't agree because you must have once installed the Insider version.Â* The registry entries are never wiped clean by the operating system.Â* People use 3rd party tools such as cCleaner and others but these are rarely required. when you do a clean install then you will get all 3 methods tally with each other.

Jim Winver from search or command prompt is the proper way to check. Version 1909 (OS Build 18363 720) would be correct. Rene |

But, SettingsAbout tells me that 1909 was installed on 7/16/2019, while SettingsUpdate and securityView update history tells me the correct date, 3/31/2020. Maybe the user is supposed to know something 'special' about how Windows came up with that 7/16/2019 date, that that date means something that's not intitive to a rational user who expects to see 3/31/2020. Or maybe it's a bug. |

Or maybe it's a bug. https://postimg.cc/gallery/T6MmsNx 1909 is a fake update. It takes 1903 18362 and makes it 1909 18363. The operation consisted of two steps. 1) An install step "staged it". 2) When the user wants to update, the user "flips a switch", and the remaining step of the update takes place. And then you're at 18363. That gives the possibility of at least two date stamps. The next upgrade is 20H1 19041, which is already in the hands of Insiders on some Ring. And that's a real upgrade, versus 1909 which was a fake. Paul |
