end of support banner

About this tag
The end of support banner tag covers a display bug in Windows 10 that incorrectly showed an 'end of support' warning in Settings after the October 2025 cumulative update. The bug affected some systems enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU) and Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC), which remained entitled to security patches. Microsoft confirmed the issue was a cosmetic UI error and deployed a server-side fix along with a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) for enterprise administrators. The tag includes discussions of the bug's impact, Microsoft's response, and related topics like Windows 10 end of life and user migration considerations.
