Overview
- Microsoft’s Nov. 11 Patch Tuesday fixes will reach Windows 10 only if the device is enrolled in Extended Security Updates.
- Users in multiple countries, particularly across Europe, are seeing notices that ESU enrollment is temporarily unavailable as Microsoft staggers the rollout by region.
- Some PCs show “Something went wrong” during enrollment when they are misread as work devices or appear to be in unsupported regions such as Russia, and reports suggest removing old work or school accounts may resolve it.
- Consumers can enroll by backing up settings to a Microsoft account at no additional charge or by paying $30 or redeeming 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, with EEA users able to enroll by signing in.
- Enterprises must buy ESU via Volume Licensing or Cloud Solution Providers, activate per‑device keys and manage updates with tools like Intune or WSUS, with reporting indicating about $427 per device for three years.
