Microsoft is going to install Windows 11 update on your PC — even if you haven’t asked it to
Microsoft is going to install the latest version of its desktop operating system on your PC …even if you haven’t asked for the update. Yes, the US company will force the installation of Windows 11 version 23H2, the update that rolled-out worldwide towards the end of last year, to all PCs globally.
In a statement, Microsoft confirmed that it would “automatically” upgrade all eligible Windows 11 devices in the coming weeks. It hopes to update everyone to 23H2 before the previous version of the operating system reaches its end-of-support deadline in October 2024.
After that date, if you’re persisting with the previous version of Windows 11, you’ll stop receiving security updates, patches, or technical support from Microsoft. That could leave you open to ransomware, spyware, and other viruses.
