Hey everyone,

I’m running into an issue where Windows Installed Apps is not reporting the actual version of the installed elastic agent. This is problematic because from a compliance baseline perspective, what appears in Installed Apps and in SCCM is how we track deployment compliance.

In Installed Apps the version number is reported to be 8.14.3.

I confirmed that the actual version number of the elastic agent is 8.17.10 via command:

```auto
C:\Program Files\Elastic\Agent>elastic-agent version

```

```auto
Binary: 8.17.10 (build: 8ea05b9fd9ca68c1c45b0b8b2447baa81e46c842 at 2025-08-05 08:56:27 +0000 UTC)

```

```auto
Daemon: 8.17.10 (build: 8ea05b9fd9ca68c1c45b0b8b2447baa81e46c842 at 2025-08-05 08:56:27 +0000 UTC)

```

I’m on Windows 10 22H2 (19045.6216).

Anyone run into this issue?

Hi Eli, welcome to the community!

This is a known behavior the version shown in Apps & Features comes from the MSI installer metadata, and it does not always get updated on agent upgrades. The real version is what you already checked with elastic-agent.exe version. For compliance tools like SCCM, you may need to rely on that command or the Fleet API until the MSI metadata is refreshed in a future release.
