windows 11 is recognized as windows 10 in A_OSVersion

See this post:
viewtopic.php?f=76&t=92403&p=409928#p409419

Note this there:

The A_OSVersion built-in var shows 10.0.22000.

Maybe you were expecting 11.x.xxxxx, but that's not what Microsoft decided to do.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with AutoHotkey, i.e., the A_OSVersion built-in variable is not "wrong". Try this...open a command prompt on W11...you'll get this (depending on your build, of course):

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.348]

Ok, thank you.

oh, so now microsoft is calling the old OS a brand-new Cadillac Brougham when it isn't even much different! (mind you, the "isn't much different" part is my supposition. I will try to live with win7 till I die I hated 10 so much.) I guess it's a marketing ploy to just make more money.

This should work!

Code: Select all

; Set the registry key path
RegPath := "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3"

; Read the Settings binary value from the registry
RegRead, SettingsValue, % RegPath, Settings
;MsgBox, SettingsValue %SettingsValue%
; Extract the 9th byte from the binary value
NinthByte := SubStr(SettingsValue, 17, 1)
;MsgBox, NinthByte %NinthByte%
; Check if the 9th byte indicates auto-hide is enabled (03)
if (NinthByte = "0") {
;MsgBox, Win10
winVerson := 10
}
else if (NinthByte = "7")
{
;MsgBox, Win11
winVerson := 11
}
else
{
winVerson := A_OSVersion
}
