MicrosoftWindows is a computer operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first launched in 1985 as a graphical operating system built on MS-DOS. The initial version was followed by several subsequent releases, and by the early 1990s, the Windows line had split into two separate lines of releases: Windows 9x for consumers and Windows NT for businesses and enterprises. In the following years, several further variants of Windows would be released: Windows CE in 1996 for embedded systems; Pocket PC in 2000 (renamed to Windows Mobile in 2003 and Windows Phone in 2010) for personal digital assistants and, later, smartphones; Windows Holographic in 2016 for AR/VR headsets; and several other editions.

Windows MultiPoint Server was an operating system based on Windows Server. It was succeeded by the MultiPoint Services role in Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server version 1709. It was no longer being developed in Windows Server version 1803 and later versions.


In 2012 and 2013, Microsoft released versions of Windows specially designed to run on ARM-based tablets; these versions of Windows, named "Windows RT" and "Windows RT 8.1," were based on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, respectively. Upon the release of Windows 10 in 2015, the ARM-specific version for large tablets was discontinued; large tablets (such as the Surface Pro 4) were only released with x86 processors and could run the full version of Windows 10. Windows 10 Mobile had the ability to be installed on smaller tablets (up to nine inches);[26] however, very few such tablets were released, and Windows 10 Mobile primarily ended up only running on smartphones until its discontinuation. In 2017, the full version of Windows 10 gained the ability to run on ARM, thus rendering a specific version of Windows for ARM-based tablets unnecessary.


The Visual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries. Many applications built using Microsoft C and C++ tools require these libraries. If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app's target architecture. The Redistributable version must be at least as recent as the MSVC build toolset used to build your app. We recommend you use the latest Redistributable available for your version of Visual Studio, with some exceptions noted later in this article.


Unlike older versions of Visual Studio, which have infrequent redist updates, the version number isn't listed in the following table for Visual Studio 2015-2022 because the redist is updated frequently. To find the version number of the latest redist, download the redist you're interested in using one of the following links. Then, look at its properties using Windows File Explorer. In the Details pane, the File version contains the version of the redist.


Some of the downloads that are mentioned in this article are currently available on my.visualstudio.com. Log in using a Visual Studio Subscription account so that you can access the download links. If you're asked for credentials, use your existing Visual Studio subscription account. Or, create a free account by choosing the No account? Create one! link.


Visual Studio versions since Visual Studio 2015 share the same Redistributable files. For example, any apps built by the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022 toolsets can use the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. However, the version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed on the machine must be the same or higher than the version of the Visual C++ toolset used to create your application. For more information about which version of the Redistributable to install, see Determining which DLLs to redistribute. For more information about binary compatibility, see C++ binary compatibility between Visual Studio versions.

Description: Some devices with quad channel microphone (like HP Elitebook) have audio redirection issues with Teams on 2105 and above. To fix these issues, a registry key needed to be added manually -[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Citrix\HDXMediaStream] "DisableADM2"=dword:1. The attached .reg file can be executed on impacted devices to automatically add the same registry key and hence fix the issue.

Beginning with Windows 10, version 21H2, feature updates for Windows 10 release are released annually, in the second half of the calendar year, to the General Availability Channel. They will be serviced with monthly quality updates for 18 or 30 months from the date of the release, depending on the lifecycle policy.


We recommend that organizations begin deployment of each General Availability Channel release immediately as a targeted deployment to devices selected for early adoption and ramp up to full deployment at your discretion. This will enable you to gain access to new features, experiences, and integrated security as soon as possible.


Is there a way to check the Splunk version number in Windows? Having a hard time tracking it down. Add/Remove Programs lists "a" version number (i.e. "107.2.31363") but that is not matching up to the publish splunk version / build numbers. I'm not seeing the Version property as being set on splunk.exe or splunkd.exe etc. Thanks!


How do you check to see what version of Windows Management Framework (WMF) is installed? It seems like it should be a simple thing to find out, but I cannot. Even Googling a bunch of different versions of the question turns up little to nothing.


The closest thing I could find was here on serverfault: Methods to Detect version of Windows Management Framework. That question starts off the same, but it seems to ask for a specific way of checking to be used in a GPO; perhaps that is why it got no answers.


Update: Some people seem to think that "$PSVersionTable" (and/or various properties of it) is an answer. I finally realized recently that this is a PowerShell variable (maybe 'PS' prefix should have given it away for me, but it didn't) and tried to dig deeper. This resulted in another question: What do the contents of PowerShell's $PSVersionTable represent?.


Update2: Based on all the information I've gathered now and my better understanding, I'm fairly certain that PowerShell's built-in variable $PSVersionTable.PSVersion is not technically the answer to this, but that it is often (sometimes? always? not sure) the same, as in the versions might go hand-in-hand. The $PSVersionTable.WSManStackVersion variable might be what I want, but the official short description of that property shows it as representing the WS-Management stack. Is the WS-Management stack the same thing as WMF? Googling suggests they are closely related, but I'm not sure if the answer to that is yes.


The installation package for PowerShell comes inside a WMF installer. The version of the WMF installer matches the version of PowerShell; there's no stand alone installer for Windows PowerShell.


So as you can see, the version for $PSVersionTable.WSManStackVersion.Major only seems to change on the WMF 4 install and then stays at 3. While $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major seems to report the accurate version of WMF.


If it's installed, you will find it in "appwiz.cpl". Just remember to look under "View installed updates", as the WMF is distributed as a Windows update with unique KB-numbers for the different Windows versions.






You check to see what version of Windows Management Framework (WMF) is installed by identifying the KB number of the version you are checking for and then using, in this case, a wmic query, to determine if that KB number has been installed.These examples are all based on using cmd.exe to run the commands.


Docker Desktop's functionality remains consistent on both WSL and Hyper-V, without a preference for either architecture. Hyper-V and WSL have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific set up and your planned use case.


Containers and images created with Docker Desktop are shared between alluser accounts on machines where it is installed. This is because all Windowsaccounts use the same VM to build and run containers. Note that it is not possible to share containers and images between user accounts when using the Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend.
