Microsoft Windows 10 will be end-of-life October 14, 2025. Because these devices will no longer receive security updates, feature updates, or technical assistance after this date, they will be vulnerable to any newly discovered security threats and therefore, may have their network administratively disconnected as a protective measure.
To alert individuals and help IT professionals identify, upgrade, or retire Windows 10 devices, ITS will be deploying a desktop background to all managed Windows 10 devices on Friday, September 19th. The background will display the end-of-life date and instruct users to contact IT support for assistance updating or upgrading their Windows 10 device. The background will only be deployed to Windows 10 devices that are reaching end-of-support. LTSC devices will be excluded.
