Alongside the rollout of the KB5003212 update, Microsoft has also reminded users about the end of Windows 10 1909 OS. This means the company will not be serving security updates for v1909 anymore, leaving it vulnerable to any security threats. To individuals who wanted to remain safe, Microsoft recommends updating to the latest version of Windows 10. A note to consider, Microsoft stopped serving individuals like Home, Pro, Pro for Workstation, Nano Container, and Server SAC editions but will be extending support for v1909 on Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions.
