How to handle security updates?
Using such an old version of VS does not only bring risks to your development environment, but also indicates your applications might use out-of-date dependencies (NuGet packages, C++ libraries and more) which contain more security risks. So, you should serious consider an upgrade.

Technically you will be able to continue using the Visual Studio and it won't be blocked. However, you won't received any update, there won't be any bugfix or security update and this would put your software development at risk of developing with out of date software.
It is recommended to consider upgrading to the supported version of Visual Studio.
