    JDK-8273229: Release Doesn't Correctly Recognize Windows Server

      This release doesn't correctly identify Windows Server. The property `os.name` is set to
      `Windows 2019` on Windows Server 2022. In HotSpot error logs, the OS is identified as `Windows
      10.0` for Windows Server releases 2016, 2019, and 2022; however, the HotSpot error log does
      show the Build number. Windows Server 2016 has Build 14393 or above, Windows Server 2019 has
      Build 17763 or above, and Windows Server 2022 has Build 20348 or above.
