The Windows 10 hangover is becoming a security problem
Windows 10 support ended on October 14, 2025, and the operating system now runs on 16.9% of Windows devices that no longer receive regular security updates. Microsoft offers Extended Security Updates (ESU) for eligible consumer devices through October 12, 2026, but a significant portion of Windows 10 installations may lack access to this program or fail to maintain it.
Why it matters: Organizations and consumers still running Windows 10 face growing exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities; practitioners should verify ESU eligibility and enrollment status for their Windows 10 inventory before patches become unavailable.
