Microsoft: Unsupported Windows loses updates after cert rotation

  • Engineer — Plan: Audit the estate for devices running unsupported Windows versions and schedule upgrades before the Windows Update certificate rotation deadline next year — after that point, those devices will be permanently cut off from security updates.
  • SOC/IR — Skip
  • Leader — Plan: Request an inventory of unsupported Windows endpoints from the engineering team; devices that fall off the update chain raise compliance risk under frameworks like PCI DSS and SOC 2, and increase exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities — factor upgrade budget into next quarter’s planning.
