Check the published end-of-updates date for Windows 10 or Windows 11 by version and edition. Compare standard servicing with eligible Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU), see the latest update reference in the current dataset, and choose a safe next step.
Manual lookup, not a device scan.
This tool does not inspect your PC, contact Windows Update, check your license, or verify ESU enrollment. It compares your selections with a dated dataset from official Microsoft lifecycle and release-health tables.
Choose your Windows release
Press Win + R, enter winver, and note the Windows version. Check Settings → System → About for the edition. If the device is managed by work or school, ask your administrator whether it uses LTSC or ESU.

What this result meansWithin published servicing windowThe tool reports published servicing dates; it cannot confirm installed updates or local policy.
What to do next
Keep Windows Update enabled and install monthly security updates.
If 26H2 is not offered, check Windows Update and the device maker guidance instead of forcing an ISO installation or bypassing compatibility safeguards.
Version is not the same as edition. Windows 11 Home/Pro and Enterprise/Education versions can have different end-of-updates dates.
End of updates does not switch the PC off. Windows can continue to run, but unsupported devices can miss standard security and quality fixes.
ESU is not normal support. It is a time-limited security-update program for eligible, enrolled devices; it does not deliver ordinary feature updates or restore full technical support.
LTSC is a separate product channel. The long IoT Enterprise LTSC dates must not be applied to regular Home/Pro or standard Enterprise LTSC.
Dates are edition-specific. Check the exact product shown by winver and Settings → System → About before acting.
This is a manually maintained reference dataset, checked on 22 October 2026 against Microsoft release-health and lifecycle pages. The KB shown is the latest update reference in that snapshot, not a guarantee that the package applies to every edition or that it is installed on a particular device. Release information can be published with different date conventions; follow the linked page for the exact release and edition.
Nothing is scanned, installed, enrolled, changed or uploaded by this page. It cannot diagnose device compatibility, verify licensing, read registry values, confirm update history or check ESU status.
Frequently asked questions
Does end of updates mean Windows will stop working?
No. The computer can continue to run, but a release that has ended standard servicing no longer receives its normal monthly security and quality updates. Check whether a valid ESU program or a separate LTSC lifecycle applies.
Does this checker read my PC or verify my license?
No. Select the Windows family, edition and version manually. The checker does not scan the device, access Windows Update, read installed KBs, verify licensing or confirm ESU enrollment.
Can Windows 10 still receive security updates after October 2025?
Eligible devices can receive security-only updates through the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates program if correctly enrolled. Consumer and commercial programs have different rules and dates; installing an ESU preparation package alone does not enroll a device.
Why do Windows 11 editions have different support end dates?
Microsoft publishes different servicing windows for Home and Pro versus Enterprise and Education. LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC use separate product lifecycle rules and must not be treated as ordinary consumer releases.
What does the KB number in the result mean?
It is the latest update reference recorded in this dated dataset for the selected release line. It does not prove that the update applies to every edition or that it is installed on your device. Check Microsoft’s current release history for the latest details.
How do I confirm my Windows version and edition?
Press Win + R, type winver, and press Enter. Then open Settings > System > About to check the edition. If the PC is managed by work or school, ask the administrator whether it uses LTSC or an Extended Security Updates program.
Is ESU the same as normal Windows support?
No. ESU is a time-limited program for eligible enrolled devices. It supplies eligible security updates, not new Windows features or full technical support, and it does not reset the original product lifecycle.
