Support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025
After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates from Windows Update, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows 10. Your PC will still work, but we recommend moving to Windows 11.

UPDATED 9/23/24
ACTION REQUIRED: .NET 6.0 end of life on Windows Server 2022 Marketplace media
.NET 6 will reach end of support on Nov 12, 2024. After that, Microsoft will no longer provide updates including security updates or technical support for .NET 6. You need to update to .NET 8 before this date to stay supported.
Azure Marketplace media images for Windows Server 2022 currently include .NET 6, but going forward will not include a .NET version with the image (.NET 8 and later are not included with the image). Therefore, if you previously relied on the Azure Marketplace image to include the .NET 6 runtime then going forward you will need to handle the .NET deployment yourself. See the following:
- Build, test, and deploy .NET Core apps - Azure Pipelines.
- Overview of the .NET Upgrade Assistant - .NET Core
Based on customer feedback about this breaking change we have decided to provide customers more time to handle the .NET 8 runtime deployment and upgrade to .NET 8. Microsoft will provide security updates for .NET 6 in the Azure Marketplace media image beyond the official end of support date for an additional 6 months through May 13, 2025. .Net 6 will be removed from Marketplace media on June 10, 2025.
2/21/23 IMPORTANT The standalone servicing stack update (SSU), KB5005112, for Windows Server 2019 Datacenter edition does not show as installed on the latest Azure Marketplace images. This is by design. Because of this, WSUS and Configuration Manager admins can deploy this SSU on devices that do not have the latest SSU that Unified packages require.
