However, the new coronavirus that spreads all over the world has a great impact on users, so the planned end date of the service has been postponed in order to reduce some of the user's burden.

As a result, the corresponding version of the device will receive the security update program, which was originally supposed to be provided only until May 2020, from June to November 2020.

The latest version, Windows 10 version 1909, will be released on Tuesday, November 12, 2019, so the service will end on May 11, 2021 (Tuesday).
