RtlGetNtVersionNumbers is a void function and the third parameter may not be just the build number. The first two parameters are sort of known because the CRT used to use it to get the major and minor version but passed NULL for the third parameter. typedef void (__stdcall *NTVERSION_INFO_FCN)(PDWORD, PDWORD, PDWORD); I assume that it contains at least the build number and type (production or checked), according to a blog post discussing it [1]. Here's results from a test program [2] with manifest on Windows 11: >test-RtlGetNtVersionNumbers.exe GetVersionExW: 10.0.22000 RtlGetVersion: 10.0.22000 RtlGetNtVersionNumbers: 10 major, 0 minor, 4026553840 unknown LOWORD of unknown: 22000 (0x55f0) HIWORD of unknown: 61440 (0xf000) [1]: https://dennisbabkin.com/blog/?t=how-to-tell-the-real-version-of-windows-your-app-is-running-on [2]: https://gist.github.com/jay/ae07fba61fe6853f5620eb142c66807b --------------w06NzU593R0ILuBNCLi9bBI6--
