"Fortunately, there is another path -- is a software service designed to keep systems protected for years to come. What is 0patch? 0patch is a Europe-based third-party security company that specializes in delivering micropatches for Windows 10. As the name suggests, a micropatch is a tiny update that addresses a single, specific vulnerability. That might not sound like much, but these patches are released frequently, forming a powerful safety net."
"Cesar Cadenas/ZDNET Here's how the service works: whenever a new vulnerability is discovered by security researchers or developers, the information is made public. 0patch takes that information to create a targeted micropatch and distribute it to users. The process is more complicated than that, but that's the gist. The update release schedule depends on how often these vulnerabilities are discovered."
Microsoft ended regular updates and security patches for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, ending a decade of official support. Many users upgraded to Windows 11, switched to Linux, or purchased Microsoft's Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) plan. Microsoft's ESU will stop in October, leaving unsupported systems vulnerable. 0patch is a Europe-based third-party security company that delivers targeted micropatches for Windows 10 vulnerabilities. A micropatch addresses a single, specific vulnerability and is released frequently to form a continuing safety net. 0patch creates micropatches from public vulnerability disclosures and distributes them to users, with release timing driven by vulnerability discovery rates.
