removal schedule

A phased removal schedule for Office version 2612 has been established, with the Current Channel's full removal by December 2026, the Monthly Enterprise Channel by February 2027, and the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel by July 2027. A final removal date is set for December 2027 for customers with extended support licenses. Additionally, MDAG (Malware Detection and Guard) has been introduced to enhance security by using a Hyper-V sandbox for file execution, isolating potential malware from the operating system. However, this may result in slower document load times, impacting productivity.
