Hi,

Since there's different background colours applied to a ddlb in win11 compared to win10 (when not editable), I need to figure out if I'm running win10 or previous or Win11 or later.

I thought of using "Function Boolean RtlGetNtVersionNumbers (Ref Long Major, Ref Long Minor,  Ref Long Optional ) Library  "ntdll.dll" ", but for win11 I'm getting the same major = 10 and minor = 0 revisions as for win10.

Has anyone figured this out already?

TIA

Personally I think that this was someone (one Person!) with a broken system / registry stuff ;-)

That solution based on a registry key!

It seems to me that this is also the reason why other implementations read the version information from "kernel32.dll" - That is how n_osversion is coded.

Happy Colouring ;-)

Internally Windows 11 is version 10. I have Windows 11 22H2 and the internal version of kernel32.dll is 10.0.22621.2506.
