No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Nope. US and don't even use the login system at all. One of the benefits of having the Pro edition.
Pro or Enterprise? Or even better, Enterprise IoT LSTC? The latter is going to get security updates until 2032.
And those enrolled ($61) in the Extended Security Updates program get one more year of security support (not feature updates), and the various Enterprise versions will continue to get updates for up to another seven years, depending on the version.
Microsoft didn't stop updating Windows 10 and they won't for quite some time. They're simply no longer offering those updates to most users of the consumer versions of Windows.
Windows Update can also hand you updates to your drivers independent of the support status of your copy of Windows. For instance, if you install a copy of Windows 7 even today it will still pull driver files from Microsoft.
Just Pro. It was the bare minimum I needed to have access to the Group Policy Editor that let me actually control everything and not have what amounts to child-safety locks on everything deeper than basic settings.
Interesting and curious!
What are the updates? Is it Windows getting the update, or Windows defender/programs that use windows update for updates?
As far as I'm aware even windows 7's windows defender still gets updates.
NVM looks like that one got EOLed too
The one that popped up prompting the question is a security update for the OS.
Looks like there's an issue installing the extended support updates should you subscribe to it. So it makes sense to just give everyone the update.
Also sometimes when there's security issues that MS thinks are absolutely critical they'll release those updates to everyone. Windows 7 got a few.
If you opted into ESU, those would be the security updates that you opted to receive.
Did you get something that is along the lines of Microsoft saying you can extend one year of support? Because I remember getting that before I reinstalled my windows, like it was backed to October 2026 or something.
Just going out on a limb, but with windows 11 being so similar to 10, it would make sense to continue to port updates over to 10 that are fully compatible. That being said, feature updates are over.
because.
