I just upgraded to Windows 11. BGInfo 4.28 is showing the OS as being Windows 10 Build 22000. Can this be remedied?

    BGInfo cannt do some things. So try this. Use a custom WMI query:

    SELECT Version FROM Win32_OperatingSystem
    SELECT Caption FROM Win32_OperatingSystem

    You get the Version, also for Win11 and the build number.

    If you upgrade to BGInfo 4.32 and use the built-in field "OS Version" instead of a custom one, it will properly show "Windows 11". Below is the download location.
