WinVer.nsh calls the GetVersionEx function. This has been the documented way to check the Windows version for 20 years. (Microsoft has recently deprecated it in favor of VerifyVersionInfo but that is no reason for HIPS (whatever that is) to block it)

The way it calls this function is by using the System plugin which some ignorant tools might flag as suspicious.
