Since Windows 10 November Update (family ) this is a four-digit number that happens to be a date in the format YYMM. Please note that the marketing name might not always reflect the version number, e.g. Windows 10 April 2018 Update is actually version 1803 and not 1804 as one would expect!

Codenames and preliminary names for the particular Windows release, if any.
