Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro reach end of support in October

Microsoft ends security updates for Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro on October 13, 2026, urging users to upgrade to Windows 11 25H2.

Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro editions and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 reach end of updates on October 13, 2026, after which they stop receiving monthly security and preview updates. Windows 11 24H2 Enterprise and Education editions remain supported until October 2027, and unmanaged Home/Pro devices will automatically upgrade to Windows 11 25H2. Separately, Windows Server 2022 moves from mainstream to extended support on October 13, 2026, running until October 14, 2031.

Microsoft shares workaround for Windows domain login issues

Microsoft confirms September 2026 Windows updates trigger domain trust failures via Machine Identity Isolation and shares a workaround for Windows 11 enterprises.

Microsoft confirmed the September 2026 security updates (KB5124008 for Windows 11 24H2/25H2, KB5124012 for 26H1) cause Windows to honor Machine Identity Isolation enforcement settings, breaking domain trust on systems not connected to Windows Server 2025 domain controllers. Admins report valid credentials failing with domain trust and credential errors. The workaround requires disabling Machine Identity Isolation via the same management method that enabled it (Intune, group policy, or registry) and resetting the secure channel with Test-ComputerSecureChannel. Microsoft previously shipped out-of-band fixes for Remote Desktop, Hyper-V, and USB audio issues from the same updates.
