About this tag
The nt6 system calls tag follows ReactOS development as the project begins adding selected NT6-era kernel behavior. Its current coverage centers on NtGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx, a function that identifies the logical processor on which the current thread is running. ReactOS describes this as its first NT6 system call, making it a kernel-development milestone rather than an immediate compatibility breakthrough. The tagged discussion places this work alongside ReactOS’s established NT 5.2-oriented development and notes that broader progress will depend on additional named NT6 calls and evidence of wider Vista-or-newer compatibility. This page tracks the technical significance and practical limits of that early implementation.

    ReactOS NtGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx Adds First NT6 Kernel Call

    ReactOS has integrated NtGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx, described in the project’s announcement on X as its first NT6 system call, into the open-source operating system’s kernel. The function identifies the logical processor on which the current thread is running, but the update has no noticeable...
