We at 0patch have decided to security-adopt Edge version 109 and provide critical security patches for it so you can keep using Windows 7, Server 2008 R2 with Edge in a secure way. This leaves, as 0patch points out, 'some organizations in a fairly awkward position'.īut the security-focused firm also has some good news. Microsoft is going to let you get rid of the ridiculous Windows 11 context menuĮven though Windows Server 2012 remains officially supported until October 2023, as of the end of January there will be no more Edge update releases.Windows 11 22H2 has introduced an irritating focus bug in File Explorer.Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.66.0 with self-contained.

Thankfully, 0patch is here to save the day again, with the company announcing that it is 'security-adopting' Microsoft Edge on Windows 7, Server 2008 and Server 2012. As far as Microsoft is concerned, Edge 109 is the last version of the browser that will be released for these OSes, and as of January there will be no more security update released. There are large numbers of both home users and businesses that are opting to stick with these operating systems, or have little choice for one reason for another. We've already written about Microsoft completely ending support - even paid-for options - for Windows 7 and Windows 8, and as part of this, the company will also stop releasing security update for its Edge browser on these platforms.
