Windows 10 Version 1909 End of Support Risks: The Day Risks Explode - TechTarget Security

 Some users do not want to update Windows. Some companies have good reasons to maintain stable builds of their OS. The fact that version 1909 is no longer supported means that users and businesses using this operating system are at risk of attack. This risk can arise when Microsoft releases security updates for supported versions of the OS.

 Kaspersky points out that the vulnerabilities fixed by the update program apply to all OSes whose support has ended.

Mr. Oleg Gorobets (senior manager of product marketing) of Kaspersky said as follows. “OS updates may seem like a nuisance to many users, but OS updates are not just about fixing errors or enabling the latest interfaces. It's also to fix a bug that could be a door to enter."

 A Microsoft spokesperson stated the following. "We have a strong commitment to security and a proven track record of investigating and resolving reported vulnerabilities. We will continue to thoroughly investigate and develop updates for all versions of affected products, Follow the processes required to test compatibility between other OSes and related applications.After all, developing security updates is a delicate balance between timeliness and the highest quality while minimizing customer disruption. The goal is to maximize customer protection while
