Windows 10 Users Face Increased Security Risks Amid Microsoft Updates

Support for Windows 10 has ended, meaning no more security updates, which increases vulnerability to hackers. Users can opt for Extended Security Updates until October 2026 by meeting certain requirements, but this only provides security patches, not new features. To stay safe, it's recommended to upgrade to Windows 11 or use robust third-party security software, as Windows 10 will no longer receive essential security patches after support ends.
