    See first post , Page 2.

    The issue is all on microsoft side, due to an expiry date for the windows update service.

    And why do we even need an expiry date on the "client" when it should be the server that should not offer NEW updates once the EOL is reached ???

    This just means that

    1. past EOL we cannot update "easily" our PAID products still supported ( OFFICE )
    2. if I want to install win7 past EOL , I cannot install automatically the updates available until the EOL date.

    doesn't seem to me a good practice but just another move to force us to migrate, eventually...

    Got the same problem :(

    I tired searching for solutions, but everything (for Windows 7) was "old fixes",  the most recent were from 2016 or early 2017.  With system updates occurring regularly, a past fix that worked then may not now.   

    Hopefully, whatever this current fix is, it's simple and easy to follow.  Attention Windows Tech Help: I request dumb-downed instructions with step by step pictures, please.

    I need step by step as well my accounting software is not equipped to handle windows 10 yet plus I have used windows 10 and went straight back to 7. Help please microsoft fix this problem.

    I see LOADS of people have started receiving this error message TODAY!!! Me too.

    MS needs to sort something out QUICKLY

    I'm wondering if everyone getting this error message is using windows 7?  That's very important to know!!  If so, then there is something going on with MS as to whether or not they will continue to support windows 7, or how they will continue to support windows 7. 

    Yes I am using Windows 7

    yes I am

    Yes, I'm on W7 and have the same error starting today - I've wasted the whole morning on it.  So, this is good timing for me as, today, I was actively looking to purchase 2 new computers. Always having used Microsoft, I'm now looking at the Apple options.
