It will be interesting what happens with this Windows 10 end of support, this just happens to crop up the day after support ends.

They will continue to releases major security updates for Windows 10 as long as it has double digit installed base share.

Yeah, they did the same for Win7 for a long time. Win7 was so widely used (and people were so hesitant to upgrade after the awful 8/8.1 mess) that like 25-30% of all the computers in the world were still using it several years after support officially ended. It forced MS to continue issuing critical vulnerability patches for Win7, long after support officially ended.

The exploits are addressed in the patch released yesterday, on the final day of support.
