Microsoft to Stop Security Updates for Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro Editions
Brief
Microsoft has issued a 60-day reminder that Windows 11 version 24H2 Home and Pro editions will reach the end of servicing on October 13, 2026.
The same deadline also applies to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016, requiring organizations and individual users to plan upgrades before their devices lose access to regular security fixes.
After October 13, systems running Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro will continue to operate, but they will no longer receive monthly security updates, non-security preview releases, or quality improvements.
