Although this won't affect user experience for newer Windows 10 builds, it is still a major problem:
Imagine a user inserting a USB flash drive on an older Windows 10 PC and runs NVDA stored on the flash drive. If a recent Windows 10 App Essentials add-on release is installed, NVDA may appear to do nothing or keep playing error tones.
Cause: numerous COM errors, ultimately caused by attempting to access certain UIA values only available in newer Windows 10 releases.
Solution: check the build as well, and if it is less than minimum version tuple (major, minor, build), just quit.
