XYplorer Beta Club

Xyplorer seems to be happily running on Windows 11.

Thanks, good to know, time to update the website.

BTW, does the Windows version show correctly in Help | Various Information?

In Various Information, XYplorer has

OS: Windows 10 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 22471.1000, .NET v4.8.04161

That Build number is correct but it has Windows 10. I joined the Insider program a while ago, but I held off in getting it. The desktop is stamped and reflects the same info as Windows System > About.

Windows 11 Home Insider Preview
Evaluation Copy. Build 22471.rs_prerelease 210929-1415

I believe it's the latest build even though it was obtained through the Insider Program. XYplorer is running fine and startup times are the same.

For me using the current offical Windows 11 version it shows
OS: Windows 10 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 22000.194, .NET v4.8.04161

They weren't even able to classify the release version correctly? Have fun, when Win finally adopts the subscription model. Pay endlessly for a beta OS...

Who knows what MS is doing, but I just downloaded that so-called prerelease version yesterday, Oct 10 so I have to believe even though they are continuing to call it prerelease even after the "official" release, it is actually later than the "official" release based on the build.

In the next version you can see the exact version info by doing text <get os>;.

text <get os>;

Windows 11 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 22471.1000 (10.0)
10.0.22471.2. - 0.0.768.1.0

See what Horst has since he has an official release. Help > Various info read the same.

It returned "Windows 11 Windows 10 ...", really?

Yes, and this is a cut and paste from various Information.

OS: Windows 11 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 22471.1000, .NET v4.8.04161

Ironically it's kind of true. I was able to tell, with the help of web gossip about the secret meaning of the build number, that it is Windows 11, but the official version number is 10.0, so yes, it is "Windows 11 Windows 10".

I guess that's in line with this article https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-wi ... -disguise/

The result of text <get os>;

Windows 11 Windows 10, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 22000.194 (10.0)
10.0.22000.2. - 0.0.768.1.0
