Microsoft reaffirms itself: Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update is no longer supported

Windows' situation on mobile is on the opposite side of what we might consider optimal. Windows Mobile is in an induced coma, a situation that is now aggravated by Microsoft's decision to end the extra support that had been extended for 6 months. Thus Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update will no longer be supported

The surprising thing is that a few hours ago, Microsoft had changed those deadlines. Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update would have an extra year of gift in terms of support, a period that is now drastically shortened.Surely an error on the web had given a glimmer of hope to the owners of any of the models that were affected.

Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update was released in August 2016 and October 9 of this year was set to end supportThis included security and other updates outside of this field. With the error that appeared on the support page, it seemed that this would last until October 9, 2019. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It was already extended

Windows 10 Mobile version 1607 was originally released in August 2016 and was originally set to stop receiving updates in April 2018 . A term that Microsoft had extended by 6 months.

Microsoft has communicated such information on the support page. In it we see how both Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise will stop receiving security updates.

A problem for many users who still have terminals that work with these versions of Windows, since the withdrawal of updates will leave these users exposed to possible threatsA risk that will cause many to decide to jump to Android or iOS.

The next group on the list is Windows 10 Mobile Spring Update, the version releases in 2017, which will no longer be supported in November 2019, both in the general version and in Windows 10 Mobile Enterprises.

It is true that both Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise do not have a large group of users.A decision like this on Android or iOS would raise a storm of criticism. And yet and despite the little relevance it has, those affected will surely not cause the slightest sympathy. Another nail in the coffin for Windows for mobile.
