Microsoft has extended support for, among others, the Home and Pro versions of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update from May 12, 2020 to November 10, 2020. According to Microsoft, this should help to reduce stress among customers.

Microsoft has made a number of changes to its lifecycle policies for some products so that companies can, in the words of the software company, “focus on the continuity of their business.” The Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations, and IoT Core versions of Windows 10 version 1809, or the October 2018 Update, will not receive their latest security update by May 12, but by November 10 of this year.

Microsoft is also pausing feature updates for the Home and Pro editions of version 1809 and leading up to the new November deadline, the feature update will be rolled out slowly and monitored closely, it promises.

For version 1809 of Windows Server, the end-of-life has also been moved from May 12 to November 10. Version 1810 of the Configuration Manager will receive its latest update by December 1, instead of May 27, and for SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Project Server 2010, that date has been moved from October 13, 2020 to April 13, 2021. Finally, the legacy web client of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement supported for two more months, until December 2020.

Previously, Microsoft extended support for the Enterprise and Education editions of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, or version 1709, until October 13, 2020.
