The new flag is available starting from Windows 10 Creator update, which
means two (or 3? I don't know) updates after the first Windows 10 release.
Since the version returned for all Windows 10 are the same, you see, that's
the problem.

I think the error is already caught and should be replaced with the new one
if we retry calling the API, can you elaborate more on how it can still
affect Emacs?
Is there somewhere Emacs is calling GetLastError without invoking the API
so the stored error is mistakenly used?

Thanks
