![A conversation with DuckDuckGo’s AI chat feature. The conversation starts with the search query “windows 7 september 2025”. Assist (DDG’s search summary feature) says that “In September 2025, Windows 7 experienced a surprising resurgence in market share, increasing by tenfold, particularly in Asia, as users began to shift away from Windows 10, which was nearing its end of life. This trend indicates that many users are opting to continue using the older operating system despite its lack of official support since 2020.”
I continue the conversation by challenging it on the validity of the data. It searches and then says “The claim is almost certainly invalid - StatCounter reported a large September 2025 jump for Windows 7, but multiple technical analyses and follow-ups flag it as a reporting anomaly […]”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3don7mh2mrixkaj6ey2rmbsn/bafkreid6lqsdsuil72vkafnewowaxxzicnuvpntulwjj2wma3gmpgqkeum)
![A Microsoft forum post titled “Clarification on WSUS End of Life and Support Timeline”, posted on the 13th of Feb 2025. The poster is wondering when WSUS will stop being supported, so they can plan accordingly to move off of it.
A reply from an account with 22,706 points and a title of “Microsoft External Staff” says:
As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, Microsoft has not announced an end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-support date for Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). WSUS remains a supported component of Windows Server, and Microsoft continues to provide updates and security patches for it. However, it's important to stay informed about Microsoft's lifecycle policies and any potential changes in the future.
For the most up-to-date information on WSUS support, refer to the official Microsoft documentation: [links]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlyns7a3p73vkmfo4bpa5vkf/bafkreig2yfwd5q26lujfzx6547zdczmxcjc3hke7ogipcmnps6soffedwq)
![Above a Windows Update window with a "Windows could not search for new updates" error, a dialog says:
Sorry, Windows Update isn't available right now
A law banning Windows Update has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use Windows Update for now.
We are fortunate that Bill Gates has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Windows Update once he takes office. Please stay tuned!
