The above string is obtained from the registry key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName, which gives "Windows 10" even if the OS is Windows 11.

Pull requests are welcome

As I know there is only this workaround to identify Windows 11: The build number (key "CurrentBuild") is >= 22000.

I don't this is a fixable problem. Almost all games/programs have the same problem.

I don't know if this information will help. I noticed Notepad++ and MPC-HC can recognize Windows 11.
