For many years, Microsoft has been trying to migrate its users to Windows 11, the most up-to-date operating system. The company, which wants to make Windows 11 more advantageous in this regard, stops supporting older versions of the operating system. The Windows 11 21H2 package is now shelved.
Windows 11 version 21H2 support ends
Microsoft has announced that it will stop providing security updates and support for Windows 11 version 21H2 starting this month. Released in late 2021, it was one of the first feature updates to debut for Windows 11.
The last security update for 21H2 will be available through Windows Update in October, according to the company. After that, Microsoft will stop providing monthly security and preview updates for the release.
The software giant has also started to warn 21H2 users about this. It invites them to update their operating systems to 22H2 to continue receiving both security and feature packs. However, Windows Update will automatically perform the upgrade for users in the coming months.
Microsoft’s new move marks the end of two years of support for the first version of Windows 11. To find out the version of Windows 11, you can check it from the menu that appears by typing “About Your Computer” in the “Search” section.
On the other hand, the usage rates of Windows 11 are not at the desired level. Two years since its release, Windows 11 appeals to less than 25 percent of the desktop market share according to the latest data.
