Nah, I don't think so.
The discrepancy between the file version and the product version of ntfs.sys is a quirk rooted in Windows' versioning history and legacy compatibility. The "6.2" in the file version refers to the internal versioning used by certain system components that date back to Windows 8. Microsoft introduced Windows 8 with a kernel version of 6.2, and many low-level system files—especially drivers like ntfs.sys—retained this versioning for compatibility with older APIs and tooling. Even as Windows evolved to 10.0 and beyond in its product branding, some core components did not update their file version prefix, especially if their internal architecture remained largely unchanged.
The product version reflects the Windows 11 24H2 build lineage, which is based on build 26100. Microsoft chose to retain the 10.0 kernel version across Windows 10 and Windows 11 for consistency and compatibility. This helps avoid breaking older applications, drivers, and enterprise tools that rely on version checks. Even though Windows 11 introduces new features, UI changes, and architectural improvements (e.g., Rust integration in kernel components), the underlying NT kernel version remains 10.0.xxxxx.xxxx. This versioning is used for user-facing identification, update tracking, and system diagnostics.
So in short: "6.2" is a vestige of Windows 8's kernel versioning, still lingering in the shadows of modern Windows builds. It doesn't indicate a problem, it's just a legacy breadcrumb—one of many in Windows' sprawling versioning ecosystem.
I'm pretty convinced that I don't have the issue, but then I'm just a sample of one.
