[New-bugs-announce] [issue43865] win32_ver and getwindowsversion return different Windows 10 build numbers

[Michael Dudley]

New submission from Michael Dudley <emddudley at gmail.com>:

On my machine platform.win32_ver() and sys.getwindowsversion() are returning different Windows build numbers. I have confirmed this with Python 3.7.6, 3.8.5, and 3.9.2 (all 64-bit) on Windows 10.

platform.win32_ver() returns:

    ('10', '10.0.18362', 'SP0', '')

sys.getwindowsversion() returns:

    major=10, minor=0, build=18363, platform=2, service_pack=''

The sys.getwindowsversion() value is correct.

The Windows About panel reports Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1909, build 18363.1440. My kernel32.dll version is 10.0.18362.1350.
