Still on Windows 10? Enroll in free ESU before next week’s Patch Tuesday

This BleepingComputer article explains that Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14, 2025, and outlines how consumers and enterprises can enroll in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program (including free enrollment via Microsoft account backup, $30 purchase, or reward points for consumers and volume licensing for enterprises). It warns that Microsoft has been patching actively exploited vulnerabilities — citing CVE-2025-24990 as an example of an elevation-of-privilege flaw used in attacks — and strongly recommends enrolling in ESU to continue receiving security updates through the supported period.
