AV updates will be supplied until January 2023 for the SCEP Current Branch. In other words: If SCEP is used, the system continues to be protected by it as definition and engine updates are provided. Organizations may continue to use System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) as it is covered by ESU and will even be updated regardless of ESU status. Windows XP users may remember that Microsoft extended security updates support when support ended for that operating system in 2014 the FAQ entry confirms that Microsoft won't give Windows 7 customers the same courtesy. MSE is unique to Windows 7 and follows the same lifecycle dates for support. No, your Windows 7 computer is not protected by MSE after January 14, 2020. Will Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) continue to protect my computer after the end of support? Our colleagues over at Deskmodder dug deep into the FAQ and found out that Microsoft won't provide Microsoft Security Essentials updates anymore after support for Windows 7 is terminated. The company published a Extended Security Updates (ESU) FAQ on its support website that is aimed at organizations for the most part. Organizations have options to extend support by up to three years by paying Microsoft per device ( small businesses) or per user ( Enterprises). The company won't release updates anymore after that date for Home users. Microsoft ends support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, the January 2020 Patch Day.
