Microsoft: Outdated Windows devices will stop receiving security updates

Microsoft will stop delivering security updates to devices running unsupported Windows versions following a certificate rotation scheduled for next year. The change affects older systems no longer in the company's support lifecycle.

Why it matters: Organizations running legacy or unsupported Windows versions risk unpatched vulnerabilities and exposure; practitioners should plan upgrades or establish mitigation strategies for affected systems.
