Hope for Windows 10 Users: 0patch Offers Security Patch Support After October 2025
Windows 10 End of Support? No Problem!
Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, forcing users to choose between upgrading to Windows 11, buying a new computer, or paying for extended support (ESU). ESU costs over $400 for 3 years for business users but is still not available for home users.
But don’t worry, Windows 10 users… 0patch, a security company known for its micropatching solutions, is offering a lifeline.
Micropatching to the Rescue
0patch will provide in-memory security fixes for Windows 10 for at least five years after Microsoft’s deadline, potentially extending support even further. This builds on their successful five-year track record of supporting Windows 7.
Many users prefer Windows 10’s interface and are wary of Windows 11’s potential drawbacks like bloatware, intrusive advertising, and privacy concerns. 0patch offers a compelling alternative for those who want to stick with Windows 10.
0patch is a unique patching solution developed by Acros Security. It delivers tiny code patches directly to running processes in memory, fixing vulnerabilities without bulky software updates.
0patch goes beyond basic security updates and patches. They offer:
- 0day patches: Fixes for actively exploited vulnerabilities.
Wontfix patches: Addressing bugs software vendors have chosen not to fix. - Third-party software patches: Protecting applications like Java, Adobe Reader, and more.
0patch isn’t free, but it’s a small price to pay for security. They offer yearly plans: a personal plan for approximately $27 (24.95 EUD) and a business plan for around $37 (34.95 EUD). While it might not be as comprehensive as official Microsoft updates, it’s certainly much safer than using an unpatched Windows 10 computer.
With growing dissatisfaction towards Windows 11, 0patch’s solution could be a game-changer, allowing users to stick with Windows 10 until at least 2030.
Whether they can deliver on their promises, only time will tell. But for now, it offers hope for Windows 10 users. If you’re interested, check out this 0patch blog post for more information on what it can do, and how you can prepare for the end-of-support date.
So if you’re using Windows 10 and you are unwilling or unable to upgrade to Windows 11, 0patch may be just what you’re looking for.
Let’s just 0patch it can deliver on its promises.
