Multiple editions of Windows 10 versions 1803, 1809, and 1909 have reached their End of Service on this month's Patch Tuesday, as Microsoft reminded customers yesterday.

While usually, Redmond advises users of end of service products to upgrade as soon as possible to the latest available versions to keep their systems secure, the company also automatically rolls out feature updates to some out-of-date devices reaching EoS. "Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update for Windows 10 consumer devices and non-managed business devices that are at, or within several months of reaching end of servicing," Microsoft said.

The Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations editions of Windows 10, version 1909, and all Windows Server, version 1909 editions reached their end of service yesterday.

Several editions of Windows 10 versions 1803 and 1809 have also reached the end of service on May 11, 2021, after Microsoft has delayed it due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows 10 IoT Core/Enterprise 2019 LTSC. More information on EoS dates for currently supported versions of Windows 10 is available on the Windows 10 Home and Pro Lifecycle page, the Windows 10 Enterprise and Education Lifecycle page, and via the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy search tool.

Microsoft ramped up Windows 10 20H2 rollout in March to devices approaching the end of service and seekers running Windows 10 1903 or later, starting with October 2020.
