Formally, Windows 10 passed away last month, a little over a years after its preliminary release. The old operating system’s sustaining appeal has actually triggered Microsoft to assure in between one and 3 years of Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for numerous Windows 10 PCs. For people with Windows 10 PCs, it’s reasonably simple to get an extra year of updates at no charge.

Or a minimum of, it’s expected to be. Bugs at first recognized by Windows Latest were keeping some Windows 10 PCs from effectively registering in the ESU program, avoiding those PCs from registering to get the totally free updates. And due to the fact that each Windows 10 PC needs to be by hand registered in the program, a damaged registration procedure likewise implied damaged security updates.

To repair the issues, Microsoft launched an upgrade for Windows 10 22H2 (KB5071959) today that both acknowledges and repairs a concern “where the registration wizard might stop working throughout registration.” It’s being used to all Windows 10 PCs despite whether they’re registered in the ESU program “as it deals with a concern that was avoiding impacted clients from getting important security updates.”
