"ESU only provides security patches. It is a paid service that extends "critical" and "important" security updates for Windows 10 for a maximum of three years, but does not include technical support, non-security fixes or new features. Additionally, customers experiencing technical issues with Windows 10 that are unrelated to the ESU updates will be advised to upgrade to Windows 11. ESU does not provide complete patching, as vulnerabilities rated as "moderate" or "low" will not be addressed."
"The Windows 10 ESU programme is strictly limited to delivering "critical" and "important" security patches for vulnerabilities discovered after the end-of-support date. Vulnerabilities rated as "moderate" or "low" may not be addressed, meaning only partial coverage is provided. No additional updates, such as new feature releases, enhancements or non-security bug fixes, are provided, and the operating system remains functionally unchanged apart from these specified security patches."
Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) is a paid annual subscription that provides only 'critical' and 'important' security patches for Windows 10 until 14 October 2028. The service covers vulnerabilities discovered after end-of-support but excludes 'moderate' and 'low' severity fixes, new features, enhancements, and non-security bug fixes. General technical support is not included, and Microsoft will assist only with licensing issues; customers with unrelated technical issues will be advised to upgrade to Windows 11. ESU provides partial patching for up to three years and may not meet regulatory requirements for organisations subject to end-of-life software rules.
