We've had a similar request in the past and found ANSI support in Windows quite hard to get working consistently. See #34835 (comment) for some previous analysis. If we do consider this again, I think it should be for Windows 11+ only. |

@plumstone would you like to update your proposed changes so that they're Windows 11+ only? |

Enhancement proposal
Windows supports console ANSI output since build 10586 (End of 2015). Therefore I thought it would make sense to update the ANSI support detection in Spring Boot.
The only slight issue I noticed is that the JDK does not return the build number for Windows systems which in result cannot be checked. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/windows/native/libjava/java_props_md.c#L502
So with this change only the earliest versions of Windows 10 until 2016 (which are no longer supported anyway) would give out a wrong result whether they support ANSI.
Now I need your feedback. Is this acceptable? Should I add more test cases?
Thanks in advance. :)
