"On November 11, 2025, Windows 11, version 23H2 (Home and Pro editions) will reach end of servicing. The November 2025 monthly security update will be the last update available for these editions," Microsoft said in a message center update on Friday.

Windows 11 23H2 users are advised to upgrade their systems to Windows 11 24H2 (also known as the Windows 11 2024 Update), the latest version of Windows 11, which became generally available to eligible Windows 11 22H2/23H2 devices in October 2024, following its rollout to Windows Insider enterprise customers in May 2024.
