Windows 10 may warn support has ended even if you paid for extended updates - here's why
"Microsoft offers extended security updates for its now unsupported Windows 10 system. But some people who've signed up for the program may still be seeing "end of support" messages on their PC. No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's a bug, not a feature. In a new update to its "Windows 10, version 22H2 known issues and notifications" page, Microsoft acknowledged that a specific message may appear telling you that "your version of Windows has reached the end of support.""
"This problem has hit both consumer and business flavors of Windows 10. Affected versions include Windows 10 22H2 Pro, Education, and Enterprise editions enrolled in the ESU program and configured with an ESU product key. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 are also impacted. The good news is that the glitch is a display issue, according to Microsoft. Windows 10 machines with a valid license for the ESU program will continue to receive security updates as promised."
Microsoft offers extended security updates (ESU) for unsupported Windows 10 systems to extend support. Some ESU-enrolled devices display an "your version of Windows has reached the end of support" message after installing KB5066791 (Oct. 14, 2025), though the message is incorrect. Affected editions include Windows 10 22H2 Pro, Education, Enterprise, Enterprise LTSC 2021, and IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 configured with ESU product keys. The issue is a display bug; systems with valid ESU licenses will continue to receive security updates. Microsoft deployed a cloud configuration update aimed at businesses and plans a future Windows update to correct the message for all users.
