Hide ▲

Microsoft quietly extended the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for personal devices by one additional year, keeping critical security update coverage available through October 12, 2027. The change gives consumers more time to move off Windows 10 after its end of support while maintaining security protection. The extension applies to enrolled consumer devices and expands the period during which users can remain on the older operating system without losing update coverage.
