Earlier this week, Microsoft released the Patch Tuesday updates for June 2024 – Windows 11 (KB5039212 / KB5039213) and Windows 10 (KB5039211 / KB5039217 / KB5039239 / KB5). Meanwhile, the company also released an update for Defender on Windows 10, 11 and Server.
Microsoft also announced that Windows 21 version 2H10 has reached the end of support. The company had posted a reminder 30 days ago as well. In its announcement, the company says that Windows will start updating automatically on version 22H2, and as always, it is repeating the automatic upgrade to Windows 11 on eligible PCs.
Microsoft he says:
As of June 11, 2024, Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 21H2 have reached end of support. The June 2024 security update, released on June 11, 2024, is the last available update for this version. After this date, devices running this version will no longer receive monthly security and preview updates that contain protections for the latest threats.
To stay protected and productive, Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update on non-IT-managed Windows 10 business devices when they are at end-of-support or within several months of end-of-service. Moving to Windows 10, version 22H2 keeps your device supported and will receive monthly updates that are critical to system security and health.
As always, we recommend that you upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11.

In addition to the above, Microsoft also reminded about the differences between LTSC and non-LTSC editions as it clarified that Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC 2021 will continue to have mainstream support until January 2027 while extended support for Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC will expire in 2032.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
