Microsoft’s final free security updates for Windows 10 stop on October 14, 2025 — and if you want another year of critical patches you must take action now to enroll in the consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, update to the required build, and meet Microsoft’s enrollment rules...

Microsoft will stop shipping security updates for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 — that deadline changes the calculus for millions of PCs still running the operating system and forces a decision: short-term patching, upgrade, migrate, or replace. Background: what "end of support" actually means...

If your Windows 10 PC is being told it’s “ineligible” for Windows 11, the fix may be a single BIOS/UEFI switch — enabling your machine’s TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support — and in many cases that alone will make the system eligible for the free Windows 11 upgrade before Windows 10 support...

Microsoft has given many Windows 10 users a narrowly scoped — but real — lifeline: a consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program that can keep eligible Windows 10 PCs receiving security-only patches for one more year after the platform’s official end-of-support date, and for many households...

Microsoft has quietly given many Windows 10 users a one‑year safety net: an in‑product Extended Security Updates (ESU) enrollment that — under clear prerequisites — can extend critical security updates through October 13, 2026, often at no out‑of‑pocket cost and in just a few clicks. Background...

Windows 10 will reach its official end of support on October 14, 2025, but one critical piece of the platform — Microsoft Edge and the WebView2 runtime — will continue to receive security and feature updates on Windows 10 (22H2) through at least October 2028, even for devices that do not...

Microsoft has opened a narrowly scoped, one‑year safety valve that lets many Windows 10 users keep receiving security‑only patches beyond the platform’s formal end‑of‑support date — and in many cases that extra year can be claimed directly from Settings at no cost with just a few clicks...

Microsoft’s deadline is now unavoidable: Windows 10 will stop receiving regular security updates on October 14, 2025, and the immediate fallout in India—where millions of machines still run Windows 10—has forced consumers, small businesses, and large organisations into a compressed set of...

The short answer: Microsoft documents Chromium-assigned CVEs in the Security Update Guide because Microsoft Edge (the Chromium-based Edge) consumes Chromium OSS. MSRC adds those CVE entries to show customers the vendor-of-origin (Chrome/Chromium) information and to indicate whether the current...

Microsoft has quietly given Windows 10 holdouts a one‑year lifeline: a consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) pathway that preserves security‑only patches through October 13, 2026 — provided users meet strict prerequisites and enroll before the formal end‑of‑support date of October 14, 2025...

Microsoft will keep releasing security updates for Windows 10 for one extra year in the European Economic Area, but the relief is strictly regional—and the fine print matters more than the headlines. Background Microsoft has set October 14, 2025 as the official end-of-support date for Windows...

Microsoft's reversal on Windows 10 support hands European consumers another year of critical security updates — but the fix comes with strings attached, geographic limits, and lingering privacy and operational trade-offs that every Windows user should evaluate before deciding whether to stay put...
