Windows 11 24H2 Support Ends in 2026: Update Now to Avoid Vulnerabilities
Microsoft has announced that it will stop issuing security updates for Windows 11 version 24H2 on October 13, 2026. This means that users of this specific version of the operating system will no longer receive patches and fixes for vulnerabilities in the system.
The end of support affects Windows 11 Home and Pro users who have not updated to a current version of the OS. If a new critical vulnerability is found in Windows 11 24H2, attackers could use it to run malicious code, infect the device, or gain access to user data.
To avoid this risk, Microsoft recommends updating to a supported version of Windows, such as Windows 11 25H2. Users can check their current version by going to Settings > System > About and looking for the version number under 'Windows specifications.'
