On its official release information page for Windows 10 updates Microsoft has provided two recent updates. One update is about discontinuing the TLS 1.0 & TLS 1.1 support for packages.microsoft.com, while the other update is about revised end of service (EOL) date for Windows 10 version 1803.
Microsoft has announced that packages.microsoft.com will discontinue support for package downloads over Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 protocols as of September 24, 2020.
TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 support discontinued on packages.microsoft.com
Microsoft builds and supports a variety of software products for Linux systems and makes them available via package repositories on packages.microsoft.com. To support modern security standards, packages.microsoft.com will discontinue support for package downloads over Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 protocols as of September 24, 2020.This means that any connection using these protocols will no longer work as expected, and no support will be provided. In order to continue to access packages from packages.microsoft.com after that date, organizations will need to enable TLS 1.2 (or a later version). Where possible, Microsoft recommends that organizations remove all TLS 1.0 and 1.1 dependencies in their environments and disable TLS 1.0/1.1 at the operating system level.
Microsoft has also announced revised end of service date for Windows 10 version 1803 Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions. The new EOL date for these editions of version 1803 is May 11, 2011.
