Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration 

Important: Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are set to expire starting in June 2026. This might affect the ability of certain personal and business devices to boot securely if not updated in time. To avoid disruption, we recommend reviewing the guidance and taking action to update certificates in advance. For details and preparation steps, see Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates.

Support for Windows Server 2022 will end in October 2031

After October 14, 2031, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates from Windows Update, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows Server 2022. We recommend that you upgrade to a later version of Windows Server.
