Microsoft requires security vendors to sign binaries using ACS. WFBS (On-Premises) and WFBS-SVC will be changing to this new certificate accordingly. However, a minimal update of the Microsoft KB will be required to support this new certificate.

Impact

Customers who do not have the minimum OS build/patch of Microsoft Windows after February 18, 2023 may encounter the following errors:

  • Agent Program and Services may not work properly.
  • There will be a reporting issue between the Windows Security Center (WSC) and the Trend Micro Security Agent which could result to the agent co-existing with Windows Defender. This could possibly lead to slow login, application lockup, or machine unresponsiveness.

To prevent this situation, Trend Micro will add a mechanism to the products to check whether ACS is already supported on the machine. If minimum OS build/patch of Microsoft Windows is not applied, it will prevent security agent fresh installation and agent hot fix after February 18, 2023.

 
Agent Program Upgrade blocking on non-ACS machines is a best effort implementation to prevent accidental deployment of new build on non-ACS compliant system. The ACS complaint detection logic however may not work correctly on some environment. Customers are strongly advised to apply appropriate MS KB to enable ACS support before deploying WFBS Patch 2472 or later.

Check Mechanism Release Schedule

  • Worry-Free Business Security Services (WFBS-SVC): January 9, 2022 Hot fix Maintenance
  • Worry-Free Business Security (On-Premises): To be included in all patches released after Patch 2459.

Customers who will be performing an update or install newer builds released after February 18, 2023 must have applied a minimum Microsoft Windows patch depending on the version of Windows you have deployed mentioned on the article, IMPORTANT BULLETIN: Trend Micro Server and Endpoint Protection Agent Minimum Windows Version Requirements for Updated Binaries After Mid-February 2023.

 
For machines that do not allow “trusted root CA auto update” or are in air-gapped or otherwise locked down environments, please make sure to apply Microsoft Identity Verification Root Certificate Authority 2020. A tool can be utilized for this by following the steps mentioned in this KB article. You may use the command EasyFixSysCerts.exe A1 .

Customers who have questions are encouraged to contact Trend Micro Technical Support for further assistance.

Windows 10 Home und Pro – Version 22H2 – Supportende 14. Oktober 2025

Quelle: Roadmap

Windows 10 support lifecycle

As documented on the Windows 10 Enterprise and Education and Windows 10 Home and Pro lifecycle pages, Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

Recommendation

  • We highly encourage you to transition to Windows 11 now as there won’t be any additional Windows 10 feature updates.
  • If you and/or your organization must remain on Windows 10 for now, please update to Windows 10, version 22H2 to continue receiving monthly security update releases through October 14, 2025. See how you can quickly do this via a servicing enablement package in How to get the Windows 10 2022 Update.

The final end of support date for Windows 10 does not change with this announcement; these dates can be found on the Windows 10 Lifecycle page.

Microsoft Pricing update 1 April 2023

Pricing update 1 April 2023

Microsoft is dedicated to harmonizing its prices for cloud services and adjusting for local currency fluctuation within the European region. For this reason, starting from April 1, 2023, Microsoft is making changes to their pricelists for the following currencies:

  • Euro (EUR)
  • Swedish Krona (SEK)
  • Norwegian Krone (NOK)
  • Danish Krone (DKK)
  • British pound (GBP)

 

The table below illustrates the price increase (in percentage) for the currencies, to better align to global levels:

Currency

Price increase (in %)
British Pound 9
Danish Krone 11
Euros 11
Norwegian Krone 11
Swedish krona 15

Azure customers

For Azure customers who buy the services through NCE with the Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA), Azure is priced in United States Dollars (USD) worldwide.

USD global pricing provides customers with transparent and competitive rates that can easily be compared to competitor pricing. However, a customer buys – from a partner in the Cloud Solution Provider program, from a Microsoft seller, or from Azure.com. Customers who purchase Azure through the MCA will not see their prices impacted by these local currency adjustments. Local currency billing rates for Azure through the MCA are calculated monthly and published on Azure.com.

Business customers

For business customers, these pricing changes will not affect existing orders under commercial licensing agreements (for services that are subject to price protection – i.e., price protected services aren’t affected until renewal). However, prices for new service additions under these licensing agreements and purchases and new contracts will be subject to the pricelist changes when the customer places an order. Customers buying cloud services in the currencies mentioned above, will continue to find equivalent Microsoft cloud offers highly competitive.

Office versions and connectivity to Microsoft 365 services

Quelle: Link

From October 13, 2020 onward, only these versions of Office are supported for connecting to Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) services:

  • Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (previously named Office 365 ProPlus)
  • Microsoft 365 Apps for business (previously named Office 365 Business)
  • Office LTSC 2021, such as Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021
  • Office 2019, such as Office Professional Plus 2019
  • Office 2016, such as Office Standard 2016

 Note

Office 2019 and Office 2016 will be supported for connecting to Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) services until October 2023.

Examples of Microsoft 365 services include Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.

For Microsoft 365 Apps, you must be using a supported version. For a list of which versions are currently supported, see Update history for Microsoft 365 Apps.

 Important

We won’t take any active measures to block other versions of the Office client that are still supported and are up to date, such as Office 2013 with Service Pack 1, from connecting to Microsoft 365 services. But these older clients may encounter performance or reliability issues over time.

Impact of using older Office clients to connect to Microsoft 365 services

After October 13, 2020, ongoing investments to our cloud services won’t take into account older Office clients. Over time, these Office clients may encounter performance or reliability issues. Organizations that use these older clients will almost certainly face an increased security risk and may find themselves out of compliance depending upon specific regional or industry requirements.

Therefore, administrators should update older Office clients to versions of Office supported for connecting to Microsoft 365 services.

Upgrade resources available to administrators

We recommend that you upgrade older Office clients to a subscription version of the Office client, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. The most up-to-date subscription versions of the Office client are always supported connecting to Microsoft 365 services.

We provide various services to help you upgrade to subscription versions of the Office client. The following list provides some examples of resources that are available:

Retirement of TLS 1.0 and 1.1

After October 15, 2020, you must be using at least TLS 1.2 to connect to Microsoft 365 services. For more information, see Disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for Microsoft 365 and Preparing for TLS 1.2 in Office 365 and Office 365 GCC.

Basic authentication with Exchange Online

There are some changes planned related to the use of Basic Authentication with Exchange Online. For more information, see Basic Authentication Deprecation in Exchange Online – May 2022 Update.

Retirement of Skype for Business Online

Skype for Business Online was retired on July 31, 2021. For more information, see Skype for Business Online retirement.

Minimum version requirements for Outlook for Windows

 Note

  • The information in this section was communicated in the following Message center post in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
    • Message ID: MC229143
    • Message title: Update to Microsoft 365 and Outlook for Windows connectivity
    • Publish date: December 9, 2020.
  • For more information, see the New minimum Outlook for Windows version requirements for Microsoft 365 blog post on the Microsoft Tech Community.
  • This information only applies to Outlook for Windows. It doesn’t apply to Outlook on other operating systems, such as macOS, iOS, or Android.

Starting on November 1, 2021, the following versions are the minimum versions of Outlook for Windows you need to be using to be able to connect to Microsoft 365 services, such as Exchange Online.

  • Version 1706 of Microsoft 365 Apps
  • Version 16.0.4600.1000 of Office 2016 (with the November 2017 Update, KB 4051890)
  • Version 15.0.4971.1000 of Office 2013 (Service Pack 1 with the October 2017 Update, KB 4043461)

All versions of Outlook 2019 should be able to connect to Microsoft 365 services, but only the most current version is supported.

Even though newer versions of Outlook 2013 might be able to connect to Microsoft 365 services, it’s not supported and you may encounter performance or reliability issues.

Versions of Outlook that are newer than those versions listed, but aren’t the most current (supported) versions, may experience connectivity issues. To find what is the most current (supported) version, see the following articles:
