The information that I can see at Ring.com is telling me that this app is now only available on pc's running Windows 10 with the Fall Creators Update version 1709 or newer. I can see that my pc is running version 1706.

I suggest you re-check your Windows 10 version as I think you have made a mistake.
- Right-click on the Start button
- Select whichever is shown in the list - Windows PowerShell OR Command window / Command prompt. This is mine but yours might look a bit different

- Paste in this command

Code:

WinVer

You will be shown the Version, Build number [that varies with latest updates installed] and, in the text paragraph underneath, the Windows Edition [Home/Pro]. For example,

- You can ignore those last two lines where you can probably guess I was playing around when I made that screenshot.

This should be the current version:


Perhaps that is where you saw the '1706' - part of the full build number.

You were prompted to provide the full build number and told how (winver) by the forum when you wrote your post.

Information on builds and updates is available in the News section where there is a thread per update per build going back some months.

You've already achieved that.
Version 21H2 is newer than 1709. The first two digits indicate the year of release.

Agreed.

From where are you tring to download the program or app? URL please? Or from the Store?

I am confused.. exploring that site, it says

Going to to ring.com/app will automatically download the correct version for your operating system.
Note: The Ring app is free, but you may need your username and password for your device's store page to download the app.

- but it doesn't.

Security check

It also says alarms are not available on Windows.

This suggests it's meant for a mobile device not running Windows.

This is where I've seen the message

It also says you cannot use it for initial setting up.
