On October 14, 2025, Windows 10, version 22H2 (Enterprise, Pro, Home, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions) will reach end of servicing.
October 14, 2025, will also mark the end of support for Windows 10 2015 LTSB and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2015.
The October 2025 monthly security update will be the last update available for these versions. After this date, devices running these versions will no longer receive monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats.
When this will happen
- Windows 10, version 22H2 will reach end of servicing on October 14, 2025.
- Windows 10 2015 LTSB and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2015 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025.
How this will affect your organization
The October 2025 monthly security update will be the last update available for these versions. After this date, no further security updates, bug fixes, or technical support will be provided. Devices running these versions will become unsupported and may become vulnerable to security threats, compliance risks, and increased exposure to cyberattacks.
Organizations relying on Windows 10 should plan for migration to Windows 11.
Organizations with devices running Windows 10, version 22H2 have the option to enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program to maintain security coverage.
