MS Edge updates and support for Windows 10 LTSC

Question

Hi! According to the official information Windows 10 General Availability Channel editions support ends in October 2025. But Windows 10 LTSC will continue receiving the security updates, for example Windows 10 LTSC IoT 2021 will be end of support in 2032 or Windows 10 LTSC 2018 will receive updates till 2029.  Will Microsoft Edge also receive the updates for LTSC editions of Windows 10 till their end of support, or not? Even after October 2025, when there is the end of updates for General Availability Channel versions?

Answer 1

Hi @Bonaire Max ,

Microsoft hasn't had a plan of when to end support for Edge on Windows 10 LTSC, but you can refer to a recent one that is applied to Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. You can expect that Microsoft Edge will continue to support a platform until its end of support. At least Microsoft Edge will deliver critical security fixes and fixes for known exploit bugs as long as Windows 10 LTSC receives the security updates.

Anyway, Microsoft will provide a minimum of 12 months' notification prior to ending support if no successor product or service is offered—excluding free services or preview releases.

For more information, you can refer to Modern Lifecycle Policy.
