Microsoft <\/strong>has added another version of Windows 10 to its Windows Lifecycle Support page. Windows 10<\/a> version 20H2 will cease to receive critical security updates from May 2022<\/strong>. While this doesn\u2019t seem like a massive issue at face value, systems still running the old OS <\/strong>when the time comes will likely feel the impact quite prominently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most prominent issue is that systems running older versions of Windows 10 will be left unprotected <\/strong>even if major security concerns are discovered. This means it will be much more difficult to patch holes or obliterate bugs found after May 2022. This end of support for Windows 10 20H2 will likely affect users in other ways because other major software companies tend to cease support for Windows versions that Microsoft <\/strong>no longer supports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of the versions of Windows 10 that Microsoft will no longer support from May 10, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
