Microsoft recently announced that Windows 10 will not receive any new feature updates after version 22H2. The latest update for the nine-year-old operating system is the final update scheduled for October 2025. In addition to 22H2, there are several other “live” versions of Windows 10 that are receiving active support. But on March 9, 2023, one of them ended — as of today, Windows 10 version 20H2 is no longer supported.
Microsoft released Windows 10 version 20H2 on October 20, 2020. As an “H2 update” the operating system received 18 months of active support for consumer-focused releases. In May 2022, Microsoft stopped issuing cumulative updates for its Home, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstation SKUs and only supported Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise for an additional year. All three editions are now dead.
The final nail in 20H2’s coffin means Microsoft only has two versions of Windows 10 to support it: 21H2 and 22H2. However, the first one will not stay with us for long – its support is scheduled for next month, namely June 13, 2023. Like the 20H2 edition, the Enterprise and Education editions will continue to receive updates for another year.
Windows 10 version 20H2 was the latest update that brought significant changes and new features to the aging operating system. Users got themed tiles for the Start menu, redesigned notifications, minor changes to the taskbar, optimization for touch devices, and more. Additionally, 20H2 replaced the original Edge (based on EdgeHTML) with a new one based on Chromium. If you want to travel back in time, check out our special 20H2 broadcast.
