About this tag
The ReleaseID is a registry value found under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion in Windows 10. It stores a numeric code representing the Windows 10 feature update version, such as 2009 for version 20H2. This differs from the DisplayVersion, which shows the user-friendly version name like 21H1. Users often check these values to identify their current Windows build, especially when troubleshooting updates or verifying system information. The ReleaseID is a legacy identifier that was used before Microsoft transitioned to the DisplayVersion format for clearer version naming.
