Hi,

Part of winVersion module maintenance:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As of NVDA 2024.2, NVDA offers basic support for Windows 11 2024 Update (Version 24H2), specifically #16348. Therefore it makes sense to add the actual build number to winVersion module. Also, signs point to the below build as being the RTM, such as preview cumulative updates adn Xbox build numbers.

Describe the solution you'd like

Recognize build 26100 as Windows 11 Version 24H2 (and Server 2025) base (RTM) build.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leave things as is.

Additional context

Version 24H2 is an OS upgrade - new build, changed system components, and several removals. Microsoft is putting finishing touches to it, including AI Explorer, fixing bugs, and other things. Windows 11 24H2 will be released in two waves (source: Windows Central):

  • Northern summer (June at the earliest): ARM64 version
  • Northern fall (September at the earliest): AMD64
    At the moment Windows Insiders in dev and canary channels are running the base build (26100) and a staging build (26200), respectively. I expect beta and release preview Insiders to meet 24H2 in the beginning and middle of northern summer, respectively, with general availability being later this year.

Based on how 24H2 updates turn out, the new winVersion.WinVersion entry can be part of NVDA 2024.2 (beta branch_ or 2024.3 (future alpha). For now I'll submit a pull request targeting beta branch in May.

Thanks.
