"And yesterday the Windows giant confirmed there was a problem. It said some devices running Windows 10 22H2 Pro, Education, or Enterprise that are correctly enrolled in the ESU program - as well as Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 - were displaying the warning: "Your version of Windows has reached the end of support" in the Windows Update Settings page after the October 14 update."
"Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 support is supposed to run until January 12, 2027, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 support goes to January 13, 2032. The dates can be found in Microsoft's own product and services lifecycle documentation. Microsoft would obviously prefer users make the move to Windows 11, and pulled the plug on free updates for many versions of Windows 10 on October 14. The error message suggests that support has ended, even for customers who would have expected the lights to remain on for a little longer."
"The good news is that affected devices are continuing to receive security updates, despite the worrying message. The bad news is that unless affected devices were able to receive Microsoft's pushed-out cloud configuration fix, admins will have to make some necessary adjustments to group policies."
A Windows 10 update caused some devices to display a "Your version of Windows has reached the end of support" warning despite those devices having activated Extended Security Updates (ESU) licenses or running still-supported Windows 10 editions. Affected SKUs include Windows 10 22H2 Pro, Education, Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Official support dates extend to January 12, 2027 for Enterprise LTSC 2021 and January 13, 2032 for IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Affected systems continued to receive security updates. Microsoft pushed a cloud configuration fix; otherwise administrators must adjust group policies to clear the warning. Microsoft also ended free updates for many Windows 10 versions on October 14, coinciding with the update that triggered the message.
