Microsoft has quietly revealed that it will stop adding new features to Office apps (Microsoft 365) for Windows 10 users in August 2026.
While security updates will remain in place for Office apps running on Windows 10 until October 2028, Microsoft will cut off new feature support gradually next year.
Microsoft 365 Personal and Family users will stop getting new features on Windows 10 in August 2026, alongside Current Channel users on the business side.
Windows 10 goes end of life on October 14th, and Microsoft has committed to delivering security updates for Office apps on Windows 10 until October 10th, 2028.
Consumers can also extend security updates support for another year, free of charge if you’re willing to enable Windows Backup.
