Microsoft announced that it will stop supporting security updates for Windows 10 1903 from December 8, 2020

Microsoft has officially announced that from December 8, 2020, Windows 10 version 1903, or Windows 10 May 2019 Update, will not receive security updates. This notice is posted by Microsoft on the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy site.

Specifically, after December 8, 2020, Microsoft will stop technical support, stop editing for newly discovered issues, and stop security patching for new vulnerabilities found for Windows 10 1903.

Microsoft recommends that users who are using its out of support services and software should upgrade as soon as possible to the latest version. This will keep their system error-free and secure from hacker attacks.

"Your computer will still work but may be more vulnerable to security vulnerabilities and viruses than before because you won't get security updates and other quality updates," Microsoft said. "Microsoft provides free support to ensure that your device has the latest updates installed and requires that your device be up to date before supporting other technical issues."
