Wsus shows wrong version of Windows 10

Hello, my problem is over Wsus and the W10 clients information
I researched this and since 2004 Version (19041) all versions have a common core (this is the problem).
I use POSHWSUS to extract reports, it uses a "Get-WSUSclient" command to extract the reports.

I have a main Wsus server and then several secondary ones at each site.
I extract the report from the main one, connecting the script to each server.
I don't show the script here so as not to fill it with text, but I can add it if you want to see it.

The paramether that shows the OS Version in script is "ClientVersion" but shows 1901 in all clients.

There are a keys in regedit (\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion) that shows the correct version (CurrentBuild and CurrentBuildNumber)

As poshwsus does not include any parameter or attribute that can show any of these keys, does anyone know of any way to be able to extract a report with the correct version of Build that does not involve having to hire third-party software?

Thanks to all

    "In addition, as far as I know, it is a known issue that the version which shown on the WSUS console is Widnows Update Agent version rather than the OS version. " Yes, this is the problem. Only want to know if somebody found a workaround.

    Thank you Rita
