How did you get to 418, WU or UUPDUMP or MCT?

I've used WU for every update since 1903 was clean installed in June with MCT.

The 'product_version' appears as '10.0.18362.1' all the way till last week's .449 update and what I find most disappointing is this file appears to be getting updated almost daily.

While 'product_title' IS consistent, I've seen similar mismatches of 'product_version' in 1809 images.

That is disappointing. Doesn't affect what I needed it for though but the actual build being accurate would have been an added benefit for sure.

Only needed if your can't boot but when that happens it could have been very useful. Offline registry edit as dalchina showed in post #3 can provide the info though. More work but should be accurate. I'll give that a try tonight on a VM to test it out.

Rich,

If you want to know the Build number of a non-booting Windows 10 computer down to the decimal places [18362.418 not just Build 18362], use the method posted by @jdc1 Check the Properties, Details, File version of

C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe

That will work for sure:

Thanks Denis.

Thanks for this reliable source for easily getting a full build number!

I can snag it with this vbs script.

Code:

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Wscript.Echo objFSO.GetFileVersion("c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe")

You're planning on having a lot of non-booting computers then?

If you are dealing with working Windows then you can, if you wish, copy my code for getting Edition, Type, Version, Full build number
Find Windows 10 Version Number - my ReportOSVersion.bat ditty - TenForums
If you also have a vbs version of that up your sleeve then I'd be interested in learning.

I do not normally use that batch file in its own right. I call it from other scripts that need to get any of those parameters.

... good one! ;o)

No, but I'm thinking of cooking up something that can automate placing this info into the comment section of my Macrium Backup Definition XML to look like this:

Code:

<comment>1903 18362.449  sfc scans clear  2019-10-24 12:00pm</comment>

You do realise that MS are using the 18362 kernel on 18363 right? I'm sure that madness will go when sanity prevails... just FYI.

You inspired me to create this vbs version of your ReportOSVersion.bat, thanks!

Code:

Option Explicit

Dim  fso,       wshShell,     RegValue,_
     OSType,    OSEdition,    OSVersion,_
     OSBuild,   OSRevision 

Set fso       = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If fso.FolderExists("C:\Program Files (x86)") Then
   OSType = "x64"
Else
   OSType = "x86"
End If

Set wshShell  = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )   

RegValue      = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName"
OSEdition     = wshShell.RegRead( RegValue )
   
RegValue      = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ReleaseId"
OSVersion      = wshShell.RegRead( RegValue )
   
RegValue      = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentBuild"
OSBuild       = wshShell.RegRead( RegValue )
   
RegValue      = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\UBR"
OSRevision    = wshShell.RegRead( RegValue )

' Example - Windows 10 Pro x64 Version 1903 Build 18362.449

Wscript.Echo OSEdition & " " & OSType & " Version " & OSVersion & " Build " & OSBuild & "." & OSRevision
