Hi,

This is kind of working as “intended”:

Currently, the user agent strings for windows 10 and 11 are both `Windows NT 10.…0`, and in oss.yml they are treated as same OS. This is Edge 96 on windows 11 looks like on my machine: `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/96.0.4664.45 Safari/537.36 Edg/96.0.1054.29` Could it detect windows 11 using client hint? [Detecting Windows 11 using User-Agent Client Hints](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/how-to-detect-win11)

(Edge on) Windows 11 is sending an user agent that tells the server that it is Windows 10.
One can avoid this by listening to the new ClientHints header, which is already supported by DeviceDetector (the library by Matomo that detects devices), but the integration into Matomo is not yet finished (but might be with the next release):

Use browser client hints for detection
