On December 13, 2022, all editions of Windows 10, version 21H1 will reach end of servicing. The upcoming December 2022 security update, to be released on December 13, 2022, will be the last update available for this version. After that date, devices running this version will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates containing protection from the latest security threats.


To help keep you protected and productive, Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update for Windows 10 consumer devices and non-managed business devices that are at, or within several months of reaching end of servicing. This keeps your device supported and receiving monthly updates that are critical to security and ecosystem health. For these devices, you will be able to choose a convenient time for your device to restart and complete the update.


For detailed information, see the entry for Windows 10, version 21H1 end of servicing at learn.microsoft.com lifecycle page, and Reminder: End of servicing for Windows 10, version 21H1 at Windows IT Pro blog.


As always, we recommend that you update your devices to the latest version of Windows 10, or upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11. For information about servicing timelines and lifecycle, see Windows 10 release information, Windows 11 release information, Lifecycle FAQ - Windows, and Microsoft Lifecycle Policy search tool.
