HI All
I use the bginfo to show the some informaiton to let OP/admin could easy get information when they help user troubleshooting.
But I find the item list that bginfo provide does not provide version (for example 1908/2004/21H2 or 22h2).
Do I use incorrect item or bginfo indeed does not provide this information?
If bginfo indeed not provide inforamtion...How coud I provide suggestion to developer ?

Thanks!!

    Not sure if you got an answer but this is what I did. Go to Custom>New>Registry Value and paste HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DisplayVersionOSBuild

    I'm using a WMI Query to get the OS build number:

    SELECT BuildNumber FROM Win32_OperatingSystem

    You can read version info from registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. There is a value named "DisplayVersion",that is what you want.

    Hello,
    You may want to try systeminfo which ships as part of Windows.
