| Yep, I just got an update on it yesterday. I find it shocking that people think it is not. It is. Still being supported right now. Then again, if you don't wanna get hacked online, you shouldn't be using Windows. In the first place. You should be using Linux if you actually cared about privacy and/or security. No amount of anti-virus software will protect you from hackers if the OS you use is easily-hackable (by design). |

Microsoft informed Windows 8.1 support ended on January 10, 2023.
| @leonardobarba but that is just false information. It is still being supported. |
| Why use 8.1? Use a real OS like Vista. |

| @Theo1899 because most Steam games are not compatiable with Vista. It requires Windows 7 and above. In 2024. Vista is not compatiable with most software in 2024. |
| There had been ESU (extended security update) for customers of Windows 7 who had paid for those security updates: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates I'm not aware of anything like that being offered for Windows 8.1, though Indeed, there are some updates for Windows 8.1 embedded still being pushed, but it's not an official extension of the support like how it used to be for Windows XP embedded because there are not that many machines running it https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=windows+embedded |
| "Mainstream support for Windows 8.1 ended on January 9, 2018, and extended support ended on January 10, 2023." No way Microsoft sent you an update. Maybe a driver update? Maybe bait? Who knows. OP, send us a screenshot of the update. Go to control panel --> program & features --> view installed updates. Take a screenshot with snipping tool and post it. |
