User Agent string has wrong version of Windows NT

I'm on Windows 8.1 and if I go to http://useragentstring.com/ it detects Windows NT 6.2 instead of 6.3. Please see my screenshot here: http://imgur.com/7CbJzop

This causes a problem. When I visit some pages on Microsoft as http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tutorial Microsoft detects that I have Windows 8 on my computer and I get a message to upgrade to Windows 8.1. This is false because I am already on Windows 8.1. Please see the screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/jH4UW76.jpg

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and the problem persists.

How can I fix the User Agent string so that it reflects the correct version of Windows.

Thanks cor - el, but I discovered that the problem is caused by a program called Sandboxie.

Let me explain. If I start Firefox unsandboxed and go to about: support the NT correct version is displayed (i.e. NT 6.3). However, if I run the same browser sandbox it shows the NT 6.2.

I started a topic on the Sandboxie forum about this.

Nevertheless, I would like to thank everyone who took the time to reply on this thread.

Thank you!!

  • Wrong version of Windows 7 for my laptop

    Hello, I have Windows Ultimate 7 32 bit for my laptop which has Windows Vista Home Premium. It does not download because it says I need 64-bit. What I can do. I bought it some time ago but never improved because I was fine with Vista. But, now, I would like to upgrade. I can do apart from buying the correct version.

    If your computer is running a 64-bit version of Vista, then you have two choices:

    • Do a fresh install of Windows 7 32 bit.
    • Find an installation DVD for Windows 7 64 bit.

    Note also that the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate will be possible if you have Vista Ultimate.

  • Bought the wrong version of Windows Server

    I bought a new server and also Windows Server 2012 R2 essentials with 25 CAL but when it arrived and I installed it, I was told that I needed to Standard edition, not most.

    I contacted the company that I bought, and they said that they don't accept it because I opened it. I'm stuck with it, apparently. I threatened to get a refund through my credit card provider, and then they said that I can contact Microsoft for an upgrade, because I never activated the server. I didn't even point of activation when I discovered that I needed the other version.

    I don't want to pay $300 to submit a technical support request, so I thought someone here could make a suggestion for me. All I need is the license key Windows Server 2012 R2 standard edition. I already downloaded it. Or should I try to sell the license and then buy the one I need?  Thank you!

  • Bought the wrong version - Microsoft Windows 7

    Bought the 64-bit Windows 7 and need the 32-bit. Is there a way to downgrade to 32?

    If its an OEM copy, you're stuck with it. Its best you just borrow the 32-bit version of a trusted friend or a family member.

  • What is the user-agent of the MediaPlayer string?

    Hi guys

    How can I get the Media Player user-agent string?

    I need it for when the application requests a video stream via a secure connection (I'll probably make another thread about...)

    I thought it was the same as the browser, but it seems that it is another.

    I walked into www.thismachine.info through the Explorer and webview of enforcement of a sample and they are the same... I just wanted to be sure.

  • (Captivate 7) In multiscreen.html JavaScript user agent

    The 'vanilla' of multiscreen.html version (which decides if the device requires html5) shows user agents:

    ["blackberry", "android", "iphone", "ipad", "symbian", "smartphone", "ios", "windows this webos","" "]

    The real user agent string for, say, my Nokia Lumia 820 is:

    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows Phone 8.0; Trident/6.0; IEMobile/10.0; ARM; Touch; NOKIA; Lumia 820)

    Also if I add «...» "," ARM "," NOKIA "," Lumia "... "then who serve the html5 version a Lumia?

    Doesn't seem to work.

    Does anyone know how to hack multiscreen.html to ensure that the version correct (html5) is served to a Lumia?  I am really very disappointed that this has not been added by Adobe Captivate 7 that the Lumias have a very capable browser and have been around for more than a year.

    You must add them to this table in lowercase:

    var lDevicesUserAgents = ["blackberry", "android", "iphone", "ipad", "symbian", "smartphone", "ios", "windows this webos","" "];

    When it is in fact of the poll the device it returns the string to lowercase for the camparison.
