The latest version of Windows 10 Iot Core seems to be v.10.0.17763.1577.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/ suggests that Windows 10 17763 is at end of service.

What is the status of Windows 10 Iot Core?

I see a document May 1020 giving a roadmap for Windows Iot. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2020/05/26/build-your-iot-devices-with-windows-for-iot-a-comprehensive-platform-for-every-device-developer/, but there are no specifics or timeline in the document and it is many months old.

I am designing a product using Windows 10 Iot Core and I am concerned about the future of Windows Iot. How can I get a up to date information on the Iot roadmap?

Thanks!
James

    @James Madeley , thanks for concerning the experience on Windows IoT Core .Microsoft is making some substantial changes to Windows for IoT platform in the next few months. And Microsoft will converge Windows 10 IoT Core and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and reducing the size of that combined release substantially in next year 2021. But there is no timeline for that. Apperiate your patient.

    Thank you Michael. I would really like some more definitive answers. Is there an NDA program I could subscribe to or some developer resources that could give me a better idea of Windows IOT's future? Is the merged IOT Core and Enterprise still appropriate for a single program IOT appliance? What are the licensing costs of the merged product? My product depends on IOT Core and I currently do not have enough information to plan its future.

    Windows 10 IoT Core and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise will merge together in a future release. Please see this article: Microsoft to combine Windows 10 IoT Core and IoT Enterprise in 2021

    The current release of Windows 10 IoT Core (1809) will have support for 10 years. From the product life cycle page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-2019-ltsc
