Microsoft: Windows Server 2016 reaches end of support in January

Microsoft will end support for Windows Server 2016 on January 13, 2027, after which the operating system will no longer receive security updates. Organizations running this version must plan migrations to maintain patch coverage and reduce exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities.

Why it matters: Practitioners managing Windows Server 2016 infrastructure need to initiate migration planning now to avoid running unsupported systems that will no longer receive security patches.
