Microsoft ended official support for Windows 10 in 2025. However, the company has extended its Extended Security Updates (ESU) program by an additional year, now set to end on October 12, 2027. This change allows users of Windows 10 to receive optional extended updates without needing to take any action. The last regular updates for Windows 10 were released in October of the previous year, and the decision to extend support comes as Windows 11 usage has only recently surpassed that of Windows 10.
