Iso Build Info & Winver Info Do Not Match

[J.Cameron]

I have Windows 10 (legally) on several M.2 SSDs and hard disks. The builds I HAD (have?) were 14393 (so-called "Anniversity"), 14393.187, and several showing (winver 14393.222). All devices were updated by normal update protocol. I received no error messages. All updatings went (seemingly) smoothly and without problems. After updating, winver showed 14393.222 on all devices. I built an ISO from the Install.esd. No problems whatsoever. Using DISM commands, both .esd & .iso revealed Build 14396. There was no .wim to check. I do not see this as any sort of BIG DEAL! So far, whatever build is now operating, has shown MINISCULE glitches which have caused no problems for my usage. Being quite meticulous by nature, I would simply like to know how winver reveals an upgrade to be 14393.222, when the .esd and .iso (built from the .esd) reveal 14396.1 (or .1000, take take your pick). Any replies appreciated. If the reply is that the answer to the "problem?" is obvious, and should have easily been ascertained,so be it. I am far from a Windows 10 "dummy" - or so I thought. Maybe I'm getting too old and regressing. Thanks in advance for ANY TYPE responses.

As far as I know there were no .esd files associated with the build numbers you reference. The 14393.222 number was the result of the last cumulative update.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Not sure how to explain what you are experiencing, but......
When testing on two resources I have stored locally on my computer I find.

From the mounted ISO of the Anniversary Update downloaded from Microsoft

Unfortunately I did not keep a copy of the original Install.ESD from the $WINDOWS.~BT folder that was produced from the upgrade process at the time.

From the mounted ISO of a more recent Install.ESD that was produced from my insider machine when I upgraded it.

Hi Cameron,

Are you sure about the Build 14396? That was only just released to the Fast Ring a few days ago.

I see you mentioned no wim file, but you could also do the dism on the boot.wim and probably pick index:2 rather than 1, especially if its a multi-platform iso.

For example: dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\sources\boot.wim /index:2

When I do this or apply this to the install.esd instead my results show Version: 10.0.14393
