service extension

Microsoft has announced an extension of service updates for Windows 10 for an additional year, until October 13, 2026, in response to user dissatisfaction over the original discontinuation date of October 14, 2025. Users must actively sign up to receive these extra updates, or support will end as scheduled in 2025. A bug that previously hindered enrollment has been resolved, allowing users to register for the extended updates. The sign-up process requires users to navigate to Settings, select Update & Security, and proceed to Windows Update. This extension is available only to consumers, not commercial users, and without enrollment, security updates will not be activated.
