Oops! Windows 11 update is reportedly telling users their PC is outdated – even if it’s not

A recent Windows 11 update, KB5046633, has caused confusion by displaying a pop-up notification that incorrectly informs users their system has reached the end of its service life and urges them to upgrade. The notification includes a link to a Windows 10 support article, further misleading users. Speculation suggests this notification was meant for an earlier Windows 10 update, KB5001716. Microsoft has not yet addressed this issue, leaving users uncertain about the validity of the notification.
