I somehow missed that Microsoft announced the end-of-support for Windows 11 version 23H2 (Home & Pro) back in August 2025 — it completely flew under my radar.
After checking our environment, it turns out this affects a noticeable part of our fleet. I really hope I’m not the only one who missed this stealth announcement.
To all of you who caught it early and already have everything patched and polished: You absolute legends. Please, feel free to bask in the misery of the rest of us scrambling to catch up.
And to everyone else who’s just finding out now — you’re not alone. Grab a coffee, open Intune or PDQ, and let’s suffer together in good company.
PSA: Microsoft will end support for Windows 11 version 23H2 next month
October 14, 2025 is the End-of-Life Date For Both Windows 10 and Windows 11!
Do I keep using Windows 10 EOL or do I force install windows 11?

This makes Version 22H2 the last ever major feature updates for these operating systems!
(Well, I know Win10 22H2 has no new features... but whatever... )
