Microsoft stops updating Windows 10

In the latest announcement, Microsoft confirmed that version 22H2 will be the last major update of the Windows 10 operating system, but the platform will still receive support and security upgrades until October 14, 2025. This is also the time when Windows 10 is officially "killed".

22H2 was first released in October 2022 and will be installed on nearly all Windows 10 computers by November 2022. This update is available for all Windows 10 editions from Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations, IoT Enterprise. According to a survey by Valve published in March 2023, more than 73% of Windows computers in the world are still using version 10.

Windows 10 is now over 7 years old

With the above plan, Microsoft also recommends users to upgrade their computers to Windows 11 soon because "Windows 10 will not have any new features in the future". Windows 11 operating system has been officially released for more than a year and a half, so it is not surprising that developers have begun to stop plans for older versions.

However, there will be an exception: Windows 10 LTSC will continue to receive updates after October 2025 due to its special lifecycle design. According to the roadmap, this version will stop receiving important updates in January 2027, while IoT Enterprise will stop receiving support from January 2032. In the second half of 2024, Microsoft plans to launch Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC and Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

Windows 10 was first released in 2015, and over the past 7 years, the platform has been regularly updated, with security updates coming almost every month. There was a time when there were 2 major Windows 10 updates per year before that dropped to 1 and there has been almost nothing new since the next generation appeared. Last January, Microsoft stopped selling the software version of this operating system.
