Windows 10 WinSxS folder. What is the meaning of random number in ssh.exe folder path?

I notice there are 2 ssh.exe in one of the Win 10 computer.


C:\>DIR /s/b C:\ssh.exe
C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_openssh-client-components-onecore__10.0.17134.1_none_\ssh.exe
C:\>

I replaced both number with RandomNumber1 and RandomNumber2 as I wasn't sure what it is.


Also, 10.0.17134.1 looks like a Windows version, but the one found on this machine is 10.0.17134.766


C:\>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.766]
C:\>

Both ssh.exe are running on the same version


C:\>C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe -V
OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.6p1, LibreSSL 2.6.4
C:\>C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_openssh-client-components-onecore__10.0.17134.1_none_\ssh.exe -V
OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.6p1, LibreSSL 2.6.4
C:\>

What are these numbers?


Are they unique for each users?
