🔴 Microsoft: Outdated Windows devices will stop receiving security updates

Microsoft says devices running unsupported versions of Windows will stop receiving security updates after next year's Windows Update certificate rotation.

To ensure devices keep receiving updates, admins and users must upgrade to a supported version of Windows before the Windows Update certificates expire in May and June 2027.

"As a standard security practice, these certificates have an expiration date. This means that they eventually need to be rotated (that is, replaced by new certificates). A set of these certificates will expire on May 17, 2027 and June 19, 2027," Microsoft said on Thursday.
