Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 11 21H2 both show up as "2009" release
I'm not real sure where to post this, so will try here. I have noticed that for both Windows 10 - 21H2 and Windows 11 - 21H2, the "ReleaseID" value in the Registry is incorrectly shown as "2009". (We are using Windows 10/11 Enterprise.) This is located at this key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion We rely on inventorying this value to determine which computers have which "Feature Update" installed, and therefore, which computers we still need to update. Has Microsoft migrated away from using this value to indicate which Feature Update is installed? Do we need to change our approach to look at the "DisplayVersion" instead of the "ReleaseID"? Or some other value in the registry? Also, Windows 11 has another issue. In the same registry key location, the "ProductName" value is listed as "Windows 10 Enterprise", which of course is incorrect. Are others seeing these same results with these items? Anyone heard if Microsoft has plans to fix these issues?
