It seems that Microsoft has stopped the Hotfix service for its operating system Windows.
So system administrators and users trying to download hotfixes will see the message "This hotfix is no longer available".
The message reads:
The hotfix service is no longer available. You can find the fix or the updated one version code by upgrading to the latest update available for the product you.
You can also get Microsoft drivers, software updates, and more archives support by downloading them from the Microsoft Catalog, the Microsoft Download Center, or by upgrading to Windows 10. Windows 10 contains the latest features security and other possibilities.
Microsoft has had past repairs to address critical issues from specific page.
Emergency fixes existed as separate downloads, which made it easier for system administrators to correct some issues on their devices.
Microsoft did not make any announcement about the closure of the service, but the reasons given above are obvious.
