Microsoft has discontinued the release of Windows 11 SE, the education-focused operating system designed for low-cost school computers.
The company confirmed that Windows 11 SE will not receive the upcoming version 25H2 update and support will end in October 2026, including security updates and technical assistance.
Windows 11 SE, released in 2021 as a competitor to Chrome OS, featured artificial limitations, such as reduced multitasking capabilities and limited app installation, to create a simplified experience for students.
The discontinuation leaves Microsoft without a dedicated version of Windows for the education market, where Chromebooks have gained significant popularity over the past decade.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
