AutoHotkey – Create your own Win 10 'winver' (updated)

Topic

New Reply

I can no longer add posts to the original thread in the Windows Secrets Lounge forum (apparently because the thread is over 99 days old [?]) so I’m going to continue here…

Very briefly, IMO Win 10’s built-in winver is not especially helpful. For something that’s supposed to inform you of the Windows version, 50% of the GUI is just blank space, 40% waffles on about Microsoft and a scant 10% actually provides useful information, e.g. edition, version, build and revision.

So… I wrote an alternative (using AutoHotkey) that shows the same edition, version, build and revision information but in a very compact GUI:

Then I thought… it can be made more useful. So currently it looks like this:

It now copies the information to the Windows clipboard in case you get asked – ooh, say, by someone on AskWoody… and you can just paste the info from the clipboard into a reply.

Perhaps more useful, click on one of the links and your default browser will open at the relevant MS info page.

Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll post the code (or a link to it).

@Berton123 (and any others who are interested) – I’ve updated my AHK script today to take into account the cumulative update to Build 17763.379.

The script is now ~460 lines now so probably too long to paste into this post. 🙂

Here’s the AHK script in the Public folder of my Google drive. You should be able to download the script using the icon on top-right of the screen.

Let me know of any problems.

Hope this helps…

My apologies, RG. I had no idea that you had replied.

Wow… 🙂 It’s obvious that you take far greater care than I do in creating well-formed scripts complete with copious error-checking… something I’m usually very remiss about. (Slapdash is my middle name… 🙂 )

I’m deeply envious of the apparent simplicity of your Get-VersionURL and Get-BuildURL functions. I’m sure something similar is possible in AHK but I’m just not proficient enough to know how.

The ShowDialog function looks horribly complex (112 lines) by comparison to AHK (18 lines). It takes 11 lines to describe a single textbox (vs 1 in AHK)? That’s just nuts. 🙂

I’ve been trying to get my head round PowerShell more in the last week and have begun to appreciate much more how powerful it can be, especially for things like interrogation of event logs… something which AHK is, IMO, poor at. It was through my ‘playing’ that I discovered how easy it is to – for example – parse and count different “Microsoft-Windows-Time-Service” events. I have no idea at all how to do in AHK what I did in PowerShell within a few minutes of experimentation.

IMO AHK’s strength is on the visual side… so I’ll continue to use a hybrid approach, i.e. using PowerShell wrapped in AHK to do more of the heavy lifting as I become more familiar with it. However, I’m basically lazy and just interested in quick-and-dirty solutions (not like your elegant and very professional style) so I’ll continue to use AHK for the user interfaces. 🙂

Sorry on being so late getting back, somehow I missed your reply!

Don’t know why you got that. I just tried the program again and it worked both in regular PS and run as Administrator. In any case here’s an updated version that has the tables adjusted for the latest Windows updates through 3/11/2020.

A1ex,

Would you mind running this command in a regular command prompt: wmic qfe list ?

How are the InstalledOn dates presented?

If you could also run: wmic qfe list > test.text and send me the file that would be helpful.

Also what is your local date format?

A1ex,

You won’t believe this but I found the problem and it’s the version of windows you are using!

The code as posted:

$AMArgs = @{MemberType = "NoteProperty"
                 Name       = "InstalledOn"
                 Value      =
                 $(Get-Date($x[$($Cntr)].Substring(132,10).Trim())
                  ).ToString("yyyy/MM/dd")
                 Force      = $True}

Works on Windows 64-bit Version 18363.657 & 183363.719 Pro

However I discovered on my laptop running Windows Version 64-bit 18363.693 Home that the date string starts at index 134 of the string!
Who would have thought?
So to solve the problem I added a line to find the index of the “InstalledOn” column and changed the substring function to use that column as follows:

$InstIndex = $x[0].IndexOf("InstalledOn")				 

     $AMArgs = @{MemberType = "NoteProperty"
                 Name       = "InstalledOn"
                 Value      =
                 (Get-Date($x[$($Cntr)].Substring($InstIndex,10
                  ).Trim())).ToString("yyyy/MM/dd")
                 Force      = $True}

I was going to post the code with this post but decided I’d index all of the column titles to avoid future problems. I’ll post the code as soon as the coding & testing are done.

Ok Y’all,

Here’s the updated version which has been tested on both Pro 18363.720 (just got update today from yesterday’s version .719!) and Pro 18363.657 both 64-bit and Home 18363.719.
I’ve also cleaned up a few presentation things.

Get-Winver.ps1 V4.10 Get-WinVer-V4-1.
Along the way I did some research on my machines and I’ve found that Windows does not consistently report updates, e.g. depending on how you look for them you get different answers! Here’s a table from the information provided by the Home 18363.719 laptop.

Sure wish MS would get their act in order!

It all works perfectly for me, RG, except the ‘Click here for Release Info’ results in a ‘404 Not Found’ error (and the target path shows “https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18363.418%20is%20not%20supportedby%20this%20program!”). How weird is that?

Many thanks for the update. It just keeps getting better and better.

PS – Perhaps change line 22 from ‘Originally based on Auto Hot Key Script’ to ‘Originally based on an AutoHotkey script’ to reflect its origins more accurately? Just a thought, mate.

This particular animated .gif was created in a program called ScreenToGif

https://www.screentogif.com/

It takes a little time to get to grips with it, but the results, quality wise, can be very good in my opinion.
There has to be a trade-off though with quality and size when showing in online forums. The recorded capture size window, length of recording (in terms of seconds/minutes) and the resulting created GIF and kB/MB size (after editing) is also major factor.

Different browsers have a part to play also. Modern browsers that use ‘similar’ standards are not so much an issue these days, but the likes of Internet Explorer versions render animations terribly and they can show very slow in comparison to say Firefox/Google etc.
It’s only when you see an animation you have created and uploaded to say a forum, on someone else’s machine using their browser of choice, that you see how embarrassingly bad they ‘can’ look to ‘others’.

Hey Y’all,

Well, I got tired of having to post a new version of the code for Get-WinVer.ps1 every time an update came out, e.g. at least every month. So I decided to do a little research and coding and I’ve solved the problem. The program will now automatically download 2 files from my OneDrive account with the latest, at least if I’ve been on the ball, update information for Windows 10 versions that are still in support. If you don’t currently have internet access it will use the last downloaded version. I’ve tested this on PS 5 & PS7 and Win 10 Pro & Home.

Should you click on one of the links and get a page not found please PM me so I can get the tables updated, I’m getting old and sometimes forget things! LOL

.ps1 MD5 Hash: 017451E1E6DD2E80290F7418D31AFE74

I’d be interested in any comments you may have about the program. 😎

Hey Y’all,

The online tables have been updated for todays Windows 10 updates. The next time you run the program it will have the latest data available.

Please report any discrepancies! Editing those tables is hard on these old eyes. 😎

Hey Y’all,

I just updated the data files for the Get-WinVer.ps1 program. This month I’ve also updated the program to deal with Microsoft’s failure to update the Release ID number from 2009 to 210x or 21H1. So this you’ll need to download the program again as the structure of the data tables has changed to implement this fix. You needn’t worry about downloading the new tables as the program does that for you automatically. Also note that I have deleted the information for all versions prior to 1804 as they are out of service and should not be used any longer.

Hey Y’all,

Well I was just updating the data files for the Get-WinVer.ps1 program and I pulled one of those old age things! I edited the file on my computer rather than the copy on One Drive so when I uploaded the file it blew up the Link to the file embedded in the program. DUH!

So if you use the program you’ll have to download it again with the updated link from here.
Note: you can get the HASH codes from the file (File Hash Log.pdf) in the same folder as the program if you are so inclined to double check that you are getting a true copy.

Sorry about that!

HTH 😎
