BleepingComputer's Sergiu Gatlan reports that Microsoft has reminded customers that Windows Server 2022 will leave mainstream support on October 13, 2026. The October 2026 security update will be the last mainstream-support update for the version.
Windows Server 2022 was unveiled in March 2021 and became generally available in September 2021 as a Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release with 10 years of support. After October 13, 2026, it will enter extended support, which includes security updates at no additional cost through October 14, 2031.
Microsoft also said that hotpatching for Windows Server 2022 will remain available through October 2027 for systems running Datacenter: Azure Edition, one year after mainstream support ends.
Microsoft advised administrators to plan upgrades to Windows Server 2025, the latest Windows Server LTSC release. Windows Server 2025 will leave mainstream support on November 13, 2029, followed by 5 years of extended support through November 14, 2034. A free 180-day trial is available through the Microsoft Evaluation Center.
