Windows 11 installed software download
that’s odd… yesterday i checked my Windows 11 build number and it was 22000.194 (the preview release or RTM) but this morning, when i checked new updates, the same update, with the same installed date changed form 194 to 22000.100 Production Release.
so, there was no update, and i get it, but how come they just changed the build number of a compilation and pass it for another one?
As per Microsoft documentation, the production version number is 22000.194
Microsoft – the backwards moving tech company!
Why do you think? I think it’s moving ahead …rather leaping ahead
I have installed preview build on VM which shows build 22000.194
Today I downloaded and installed released version which also shows build number as 22000.194
Does it means my preview VM is automatically get converted into Production build?
I think that is ok. Preview and production builds might have the same build numbers or version numbers.This is normal I think.
Could you possibly add another column next to the “Availability Date” to also show the “End of Servicing Date” for the builds?
I have bookmarked your blog and refer back to it whenever I need a dose of positivity and inspiration Your words have a way of brightening up my day
Great article, lots of useful information. My biggest pain point following “Feature Update” the “System Information” “Hardware Abstraction Layer” presents the version 10.0.22621.2506 for example, my Windows 11 version is 10.0.22631.4169 even the registry states 22631. If I need to rebuild a computer via manual recovery process or via auto-pilot using Intune it will install version 10.0.22621.2506 and then I have to force through the “Feature Updates” to 2231. Do you know of a method of how I can update the “Hardware Abstraction Layer” version to the “Feature Update” version? This would be very useful, especially if this can be done via Intune or even a script to help automate it.
