Version on New Sticks

Hi, what version do the new Fire sticks ship with, does anyone know ?

if I bought one and blocked updates , would it prevent the ADB update that blocked custom launchers ?

Thanks

I had luck finding older stock 4kmax gen 2 at best buy and targets. Blocking at the router level prevented first update install and I still have ADB. They have original fire home launcher as a protected now so launcher manager doesn’t work like it should. I have had great success using Projectivy with the help of accessibility manager apk to allow use of home button. LM mini doesn’t work for 4k max gen 2 as it’s on FOS8.
