We are on the verge of the end of official support for Windows 10, which will occur in less than a year. However, recently it seems that the same thing is happening with Windows 11, but don’t worry, it is just a bug in the operating system.
Microsoft has been informing us for several months about the withdrawal of Windows 10 updates next October 2025. From that moment on, the software giant expects a massive migration to Windows 11, something that has not yet been done. produced. And the previous version of the operating system will be left without updates and, therefore, will become vulnerable software. Continuing to work with it will not be the best option.
But now some users have found that this same thing happens, we are talking about the end of support warning, in this version of Windows 11. However, we must keep in mind that all of this is nothing more than an error in a recent update of the system.
We tell you all this because a recent update for version 23H2 of Windows 11 causes end of service alerts to appear on the screen. This means that the operating system itself sends messages that that version of the system is out of support. At the same time, it recommends us to obtain the most recent version of Windows, something that is obviously a failure related to the update itself.
Specifically, we are referring to KB5046633, which has an issue where it could incorrectly warn that this version of Windows has reached end of service. This is a message that we find when we go to the system updates section, Windows Update.
What to do when faced with the Windows end of support error
It is worth mentioning that at this point Microsoft itself has already confirmed that this end of system support message is an error. Although Windows 11 24H2 is the most recent version, version 23H2 is still supported at this time. This is something that will be extended until November 11, 2025 for the Home and Pro editions of the software. On the other hand, the Enterprise and Education editions will continue to receive support until November 10, 2026.
But as we see, there is still a lot of time until we reach that date. However, after installing the latest Update Tuesday patch for Windows 11 23H2, many users have encountered this mentioned message. It must be taken into consideration that the last cumulative update arrived only a few days ago to the operating system. It was then that users began to encounter end-of-support messages for that relatively recent version of Windows 11.
Additionally, the notice appears next to the Windows Update Check for Updates button, which is causing deep confusion for many users. Well, at this point and if you have version 23H2 of the latest Windows installed, the best thing you can do when faced with this end of support message is to ignore it. It is to be hoped that Microsoft will fix it over the next few days so that it disappears permanently.
