The global numbers fall within the margin of error to some extent, but the US numbers seem more clear-cut. This change comes after Microsoft’s confirmation of a 12-month extended support option for Windows 1 users from next October. This will cost $30 per PC, but for those stubborn Windows 10 holdouts, it could be worth it.

Haven’t upgraded to Windows 11 yet? Microsoft is doubling down on its efforts to persuade Windows 10 users to make the leap.

Microsoft has stopped offering updates to Windows 11 version 24H2 on PCs that have certain Ubisoft games installed, Bleeping Computer reports. The company made the move after complaints that Star Wars Outlaws and games in the Assassin’s Creed series were crashing after installing the new Windows update.

More than 800 million Windows 10 users and another 50 million on even older, already obsolete versions of Windows. Of the 800 million Windows 10 users, more than 400 million likely don’t meet the TPM 2.0 threshold.

Microsoft has once again temporarily halted the rollout of its latest major Windows 11 update, also known as 24H2. This time it is for systems running select Ubisoft games following widespread user reports of crashes and performance issues.

Microsoft warns 400 million PCs risk losing updates as Windows 10 support ends in 2025. Users must upgrade hardware for Windows 11, pay for extended security, or risk cybersecurity threats.

With Windows 10's end-of-support deadline approaching in October 2025, these users face a dilemma: either update to Windows 11 with potential compatibility issues or continue using Windows 10 and risk losing security updates.
