winapi - If I specify compatibility with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 in my manifest, what changes? -


this page:

application manifest

lists changes occur if flag application compatible windows 7. example:

windows 7: improve scalability , reduce thread counts, rpc switched nt thread pool (default pool). windows vista, rpc used private thread pool.
...
windows vista (default): binaries compiled windows vista , below, private pool used.

are there similar lists of changes occur on newer versions of windows (8, 8.1, 10) if specify supportedos guid in manifest, vs not specifying 1 @ all?

you reading windows 7 documentation. try reading newer documentation, such 1 windows 8:

app (executable) manifest

windows 10 has not been released yet, msdn not have in way of windows 10 documentation yet. however, supportedos guid windows 10 has been mentioned in msdn blogs, @ least:

<supportedos id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"/>
