Hi there. I have upgraded my laptop to Windows 11. Performing Run> winver results in Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.438).

But when running [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version results in:-

Major Minor Build Revision


10 0 22000 0

Why wasn't the major number increased to 11?

    In case you have installed the latest update for the Windows 11 and problem persist.

    Winver reads the real Windows version from resources strings inside
    C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US\basebrd.dll.mui
    (you can check them with a Resource Editor like "Resource Hacker")
