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.


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.


Use the values under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. I presume you know where to find that hive?! Therespective hive can be found under %SystemRoot%\System32\config withthe name SOFTWARE.


Side-note: you can attempt to verify your results by looking at somewell-known files (e.g. kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll) and into theirversion information resource (what you're looking for is the fileversion: with, e.g. GetFileVersionInfo()).


If you boot into Windows installation media (say USB stick), and press [SHIFT] + [F10] to get the command prompt, you could query which drive letter corresponds to the original OS drive in question, and then get the version info of a program like ntoskrnl.exe. For example to explore the installed disks and related drive letters,


Comprehensive information about Windows version is contained in the registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. You will need to load a corresponding hive from the system in question:


Unfortunately I cannot see the operating system build version listed anywhere, the nearest I get to seeing Windows listed is in the Reports>Inventory screen, however this lists the Windows edition, e.g. Windows 10 Pro, but not the build number.


I see from your screen grab that the image you are using is from the Dashboard of an individual computer (which works fine my end). However, my original query was in relation to the LogMeIn Central dashboard where the list of computers are displayed, the sole purpose being to avoid having to access the PC's individually in favour of a centralised point where a summary of the OS could be displayed for all PC's within the user profile.


Following up as well ... OS version as displayed currently: Win 10 Pro is not enough for appropriate WIn 10 management - it does not tell us if the OS is recent. What we are looking for is something like: Win 10 1909, Win 10 1903 ... this OS identification seems to be available in Continuum tool (which seems to be a using LogMeIn ...)


Using a remote powershell session, I connect to the remote system via Enter-PSSession, and then I tried to use the most common techniques to check Windows versions, because the full .Net framework is not available. Also, Get-WmiObject cmdlet is not available.


From the 10514 value, which is higher than my Windows 10 desktop, I can get some idea of the Kernel Build, and it is interesting that Windows 10 desktop has the same "Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package", but a lower kernel build number.


Has anyone found a cmdlet or some powershell function or alias that could be written, that will either detect for me the fact that my powershell script is running on a nano-server, in some way which is unlikely to break, or any command which will actually print out "Windows Server 2016 Nano Server"?


Above will report build 10514, whereas Windows 10 client operating systems RTM reports 10240 at the moment, but the above is really a "kernel build" not an operating system product/edition/service-pack-level.


You could try the following, I've not got a nano server to try it out on. Drop the select if it gets you something else and see if what you want is stored under a different property in Server 2016 Nano


I hope not. Look at what happened with 1Password. After they went cross-platform, 1Password stopped supporting its Mac app and switched to a (degraded) Electron version. I would hate to see that happen to Devonthink.


I need to find out what Windows and Service Pack system is currently running. All I have is ftp access, it means I cannot run any the software.



Is there a way to determine what version of Windows, Service Pack, and what Language is installed on a system?


Based on -do-i-tell-what-version-and-edition-of-windows-is-on-the-filesystem you can find the Windows Version and Service pack in C:\Windows\System32\license.rtf for Windows 7. For Windows XP the information is in C:\Windows\System32\eula.txt. For Windows 10 licenses.rtf does not contain the version. Instead it contains the EULA code, which you can use to find the version online.


The current language pack is a little more tricky. You can find what appears to be the currently available languages in C:\Windows\System32. The folders are in the format of xx-XX (xx = language, XX = country). For example en-US is English-United States, es-MX is Spanish-Mexico.


To test this I switched my Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 10 Pro machines over to es-MX and, once I rebooted the computer, found that the es-MX folder was created in C:\Windows. Unfortunately the en-US was still there making the current language ambiguous. However you should be able to use the combination of active packs and the names of Documents, Photos, Music ect. to get the current language.


Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.


Delete everything inside of it, it will be re-created when you launch spotify, it should remove the message. If you want, set it to read only aftewards, shouldn't hurt anything to do so or the message will popup again over time.


Brilliant, this worked. I keep my windows up to date but it kept appearing. Contacted Tech Support and they had me uninstall and reinstall. It went away for a day. I even upgraded to Windows 11 and the message persisted. Now it's gone. Thank you.


I'm running the VERY latest windows 11 update. No spyware, nothing. Still gives me that error every time. Spotify tech support's only answer was to uninstall and reinstall. That took it away for one instance. Then it came up again.


I run Windows LTSE which doesn't get the same schedule of updates. I don't need a music service telling me every time I start program that something is out of date. It's not your job, and you're wrong.


This popup is very annoying and delays the startup of the Spotify app. I know my Windows version is not the latest, but I can't update it because of special software I use in my profession. Why can't Spotify remove this horrible popup.


I've been reading this thread for months. I tried many things but couldn't get it fixed. Today, I decided to look into it again and I finally fixed this annoying and time consuming error message. Here's how it worked and it's permanent!


Once the Advanced Security window opens, just remove the Access from everyone. You can let Full control to you. Just make sure you're an admin. From my side, I clicked Disable inheritance (in the yellow box) and it also works since i'm the owner.


So as you can see in the example above, you have to remove access to all the entries that have Full control so they cannot write again in the leveldb folder. If you just remove the files inside the leveldb folder, next time you launch Spotify, the system will add stuff inside that folder and you'll get the error message again. So make sure the system and everything else beside you don't have access. Make sure you have deleted everything in the leveldb folder before.


I could play Battlefield V with no problems until the past monday, but thist week MS release the update KB:5039705, which came with errors, can`t be installed and then I can't play this game anymore, because probably an error related to the anticheat and the Windows update.


The same issue, I just bought the game and it's my first time playing it but it appears that "Your Windows version is not supported. Please upgrade to the minimum supported version. For information please see: -anticheat (67)"
