With January 14 being be the official end of support date for Windows 7 (the company hasn’t been shy about warnings), it’s generally recommended that many should update to a newer operating system, preferably Windows 10. However, the MSE platform will no longer be updated.Īnother user alerted Cure to the contradicting statement on the ESU support document, to which he replied: “I'll get corrected as soon as possible.” Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) will continue to receive signature updates after January 14, 2020. Mike Cure, a engineer for the company, responded that Security Essentials will continue to receive “signature updates” after the operating system is no longer supported, as noted in the Windows 7 end of support FAQ: This product is unique to Windows 7 and follows the same lifecycle dates for support.ĭuring an AMA on the Microsoft Community Forums, Computerwould’s Woody Leonhard asked the team:Ĭan you confirm that Microsoft will really, for sure, cut off Microsoft Security Essentials malware signature updates after January 14? Even if you’re paying for Extended Support? No, your Windows 7 PC will not be protected by Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) after January 14, 2020. Microsoft has verified that it will continue continue to support Microsoft Security Essentials after seemingly contradictory information suggested that it won’t be supported at all, even to those who purchased Extended Security updates for Windows 7.
