I want to know my OS kernel version / build and UBR (Update Build Revision).

Use the following command in a cmd shell:

systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"

Example output:

> systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
OS Version: 10.0.14393 N/A Build 14393

And in PowerShell:

Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object Caption, CSDVersion, ServicePackMajorVersion, BuildNumber | FL

Example output:

Caption : Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
CSDVersion :
ServicePackMajorVersion : 0
BuildNumber : 14393

Or:

[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version

Example output:

> [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
10 0 14393 0
