It would seem that microsoft has decided to extend support for 2012 another 3 years. Well at least we got some old stuff migrated that management might not have given the budget for in any other case.

I've been asked to test onboarding of W2K12 R2 which seems like a waste of time since I realize extended support for 2012 R2 ends on 10/10/23. In order to support my argument against spending my time performing this task I'm seeking definitive clarification whether or not when extended support ends if that also means that 2012 R2 will no longer receive MS Defender related updates? I assume "security updates" includes Defender, but I would appreciate it if someone can point me to a KB that explicitly says that support for Defender is also ending, or that Defender updates are included in "security updates." Thanks in advance.
