#Microsoft Windows update

Now, Microsoft says it’s fixed those issues and is reintroducing Recall in a new preview build (26100.3902) for Windows Insiders. Microsoft has announced to completely remove the Adobe Flash component from Windows through the KB4577586 "Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player" starting June 2021. In addition, the KB will also be included in the Monthly Rollup and the Security Only Update for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard as of July 2021. Despite Microsoft’s aggressive push to transition users onto Windows 11, a massive chunk of the user base is flatly refusing to give up Windows 10. To keep those legacy machines safe from potential threats, the tech giant introduced the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program last year, allowing personal account users to opt into continued patch coverage. However, Microsoft has quietly updated its support documentation, adding a full extra year to the lifeline. Enrolled consumer devices will now officially continue to receive critical security patches until October 12, 2027. While we would've enjoyed if Microsoft called it the "Extended Extended Security Updates program," it seems like they fully intend for this extension to fly under the radar. Microsoft is reducing the number of Copilot AI integrations in Windows 11, signaling a shift toward a more focused approach to AI features.
