Adobe Air Capabilities.os returns wrong version of Windows

Simplest code example: in a fresh desktop air project, with a few lines of code:

import flash.system.Capabilities;
trace(Capabilities.os); // returns "Windows 8" on a Windows 10 machine

I haven't tried it on systems where Windows 10 has been installed from scratch, but on both a windows 7 -> windows 10 upgrade and a windows 8 -> windows 10 upgrade, it looks like Air's Capabilities class is returning the wrong value, even though I can run something like wmic os get Caption on the command line and get back "Microsoft Windows 10."

Any ideas?
