Windows 10 update incorrectly tells some users they've reached end-of-life, despite having extended support — Microsoft confirms message sent to Enterprise, Pro, and Education users in error

Microsoft mistakenly sent end-of-life messages to some Windows 10 users, including those with extended support like Enterprise, Pro, and Education versions. Despite still being eligible for security updates until at least 2027, users were alarmed by the incorrect notifications. The issue arose after a recent update and Microsoft has since acknowledged the error, providing a fix that requires an internet connection and a restart to remove the misleading message. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and IoT Enterprise are confirmed to remain supported until 2032, reassuring users of continued security updates according to their lifecycles.
