Microsoft has given Windows 10 users some more breathing room under the radar. The company has announced an additional year for its Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. This means that eligible users will continue to receive critical security updates until October 12, 2027, instead of the previously announced date of October 2026.The extension comes even though millions of PCs are still running Windows 10, even after mainstream support has ended. Microsoft said users already enrolled in the ESU programme don't need to do anything, and those who haven't yet enrolled can still join the programme before it expires.

Microsoft hat das ESU-Programm für Privatkunden ohne große Vorankündigung um ein weiteres Jahr verlängert.

If you do not want to switch from Windows 10, Microsoft has some good news: the operating system is getting one more year of support.
