Microsoft will support Edge on Windows 10 even after OS’s end of life

If you have not heard now, Microsoft ends Windows 10 support in October. You have a few options if it takes you off guard, including a free year of extended support if you synchronize your Windows settings via Windows backup or payment of $ 30 for ESU.

But what happens if you are not extending security updates for Windows 10? Or what about the road later when this additional year of extended security updates will end? If you continue to use Windows 10 after the end of management, you will be vulnerable to pirates, malware and other security risks, which is also so if you also use an unwanted browser.

The good news is that Microsoft has discreetly undertook to support its Edge browser and the execution of Microsoft WebView2 until 2028, according to an update of the Life Cycle Policy of Microsoft Edge (identified by Windows Last).

This means that the PCs running Windows 10 22h2 will continue to obtain EDGE updates and that Edge will continue to support progressive web applications (PWA), even after the management losses of Windows 10. “The ESU program will not be required for devices to continue to receive Microsoft Edge or Webview2 updates.

So, if you plan to continue using Windows 10 after the end of the end of the support, you will probably be sure using Edge as a browser. It is still not known if Chrome and other browsers will extend the support of Windows 10.
