Windows 11 Pro 22h2 service termination notice
I've been around since the start of Windows and never heard of a single update ending after a year. Earlier releases have stayed unsupported long after newer versions came out, except for the same ones. Is this about shifting to a subscription model like Office 365?
It's not about the full scope of Win 11 or 10, but specifically this added feature group. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecy...me-and-pro
I just saw this comment on Reddit.
They said they removed all temporary files, including those in the Windows folders, and everything worked fine. Without them, Windows Update would still say "up to date" and remain on version 23H2. They’re curious if that would be possible.
Acknowledged, but I haven't encountered a 'end of service' message before.
It's only that there are no longer any feature updates.
Security patches still occur daily.
For those still facing issues, the solution is here: KB5027397 Enablement Package for Windows 11 version 23H2 Feature Update. For more information, refer to my update on the Microsoft Community forum. I’ve been dealing with this frustrating situation and checking everywhere since my laptop stopped updating in October 2024—meaning I missed critical updates for about three months. Because we’re being advised that 24H2 is unstable, I opted for the KB5027397 solution shared on the Windows Eleven Forum, which worked well on my machine and allowed me to install the latest updates. Please note you need KB5031455 (OS Builds 22621.2506 and 22631.2506) from October 31, 2023. If you’ve been getting updates regularly, it’s very likely you already have this update installed. You can verify by checking your download history. After installing KB5027397, visit Windows Updates and click Check For Updates—it will install the 23H2 version for you. It’s puzzling why Microsoft didn’t offer this automatically, especially given the warning on the Updates page that my Windows version is no longer supported, which seems to push the need for a new purchase.
