Howdy, friends! 🙂
We are railroad train to whorl out Driver Easy 5.5.2, which supports the novel scan technique inwards Windows 10. This volition assistance you lot reveal to a greater extent than accurate scan results.
Starting from 2016, Microsoft has made changes to its update strategies. Instead of rolling out big updates every yoke of years, similar it used to produce amongst Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 together with Windows 10, it releases annual update such every bit Anniversary Update together with Creators Update. So has the agency of detecting novel drivers.
The modify is inwards the format of TargetOSVersion decoration, an entry inwards INF file.
Let’s accept a await at details:
For Windows XP to Windows 10, version 1511, the format of TargetOSVersion decoration is :
nt[Architecture][.[OSMajorVersion][.[OSMinorVersion][.[ProductType][.SuiteMask]]]]Starting amongst Windows 10, version 1607 (Build 14310 together with later), the format of the TargetOSVersion ornament is:
nt[Architecture][.[OSMajorVersion][.[OSMinorVersion][.[ProductType][.SuiteMask][.[BuildNumber]]]]]
As you lot tin sack see, the departure is the [BuildNumber] part. Let’s withdraw heed it out from Microsoft:
TL;DR version: the [BuildNumber] department exists solely inwards versions after construct 14310. In before OS versions, the department is useless to driver detector. What is does is to render to a greater extent than accurate scan number to devices inwards OS after construct 14310.
From our analysis, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA together with Chicony are the pioneers inwards adopting the novel technique. We believe to a greater extent than volition follow adapt every bit Windows 10 rolls out novel updates.
We’re excited to kickoff using the novel technique from Driver Easy 5.5.2 on. Our squad is thrilled to live on able to render to a greater extent than accurate scan results to you! Wish you lot a pleasant sense using Driver Easy! 🙂
