We’ve heard about spring cleaning, and Microsoft is preparing for fall cleaning. The change of season is fast approaching and the American giant indicates that Windows 11 versions 21H2 and 22H2 will no longer receive security updates. If you regularly update your PC, you won’t have to do anything except check that your computer is running the latest available version. On the other hand, devices that are not updated will not be covered against threats in a few weeks.
“On October 8, 2024, Windows 11, version 21H2 (Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions) and Windows 11, version 22H2 (Home and Professional editions) will reach end of servicing. The next October 2024 security update, which will be released on October 8, 2024, will be the last update available for these editions. After this date, devices running these editions will no longer receive monthly security and preview updates that contain protections against the latest security threats. Explains Microsoft in its Windows Message Center.
