Security News > 2022 > July > Microsoft warns Windows Server 20H2 reaches EOS next month
Microsoft reminded customers today that Windows Server, version 20H2 will be reaching its End of Service next month, on August 9.
This comes after a May 2022 reminder that Windows Server 20H2 will reach the mainstream support end date for Standard Core and Datacenter Core users.
"Windows Server, version 20H2 will reach end of service on August 9, 2022. After August 9, 2022, these devices will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates that contain protection from the latest security threats," Microsoft reminded admins today.
"To continue receiving security and quality updates, Microsoft recommends updating to the latest version of Windows Server."
Released on October 20, 2020, this Semi-Annual Channel release of the Windows Server version will not receive security/non-security updates after the EOS date is reached.
With SAC soon shutting down, most of the features introduced in this servicing channel have already been rolled up into the next LTSC release of Windows Server.
