Windows 10 Version 1703 End of Life

The Windows 10 version 1703 Enterprise and Education editions will reach End of Life on October 9, 2019, and you can't pay for patches either. The Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, and IoT Core Editions of Windows 10 version 1703 reached End of Service last year, on October 8, 2018.

There is no extended support available for any edition of Windows 10, version 1703 and will no longer be supported after October 9, 2019. That means no more monthly security updates containing patches for the latest security threats. The announcement was published to alert Windows 10 users of version 1703 to update their devices to the latest version of Windows as soon as possible. Update to version 1903 before version 1703 reaches its end of life this October.

Let MJJT Consultants guide you with a walk-through for updating to the latest stable version of Windows. MJJT staff has the expertise to help all users still on Windows 10 version 1703 to update their devices.

    Emergency Patch Released for SMBv3 Vulnerability Microsoft released the KB4551762 security update to patch the RCE vulnerability found in Microsoft SMBv3 a couple of days after the flaw was disclosed as part of the March 2020 Patch Tuesday.

Microsoft stated that: "To exploit the vulnerability against a server, an unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted packet to a targeted SMBv3 server.

Their widespread use across organizations and institutions makes them an ideal candidate for cybercriminals. According to U.S. Government technical analysis, malicious cyber actors most often exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology. OLE allows documents to contain embedded content from other applications such as spreadsheets. But also Adobe Flash Player makes it to the list.

Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Users who are still running on Windows 7 operating system, are exposing their computers to critical vulnerabilities. Is your business prepared for Windows 7 End-of-Life? Running an unsupported operating system is not an option anymore. Data breaches, systems hacks, and vulnerabilities are very common, and ransomware can bring a business to a halt and every business is a potential risk target. With an unsupported operating system, a business is easier to exploit, leaving the network very exposed. It is best and simple to upgrade to Windows 10 latest version.
