Windows Server 2022 reaches end of mainstream support next month
September 16, 2026 · BleepingComputer · Severity: MEDIUM
Microsoft has reminded customers that Windows Server 2022 will reach the end of mainstream support next month and enter extended support until October 2031.
Key Takeaways
- Windows Server 2022 is reaching end of mainstream support next month, after which Microsoft will no longer provide feature updates or non-security fixes.
- Organizations running Windows Server 2022 should plan their migration to Windows Server 2025 or purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU) for continued patch coverage.
- Failing to transition before mainstream support ends exposes systems to unpatched non-security bugs, though security updates remain available during extended support.
