[German]Just a side note for administrators of Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard systems. Internet Explorer 10 reaches the end of life. You need to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11, if that hasn't been done yet.

I've mentioned within the blog post End of Support for Microsoft Products in January 2020, that support for Internet Explorer 10 ends on January 31, 2020. That date was based on Microsoft's website with an overview of all products that reach the end of support in 2020.
| Product (Fixed Policy) | End of Support |
| Internet Explorer 10 | January 31, 2020 |
But that's not the right date. Microsoft's employees has published a techcommunity article Reminder: IE10 end of support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard a few days ago, précising some things. Quote:
On August 29, 2019, Microsoft published a reminder that organizations would have until January 2020 to complete the transition from Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11. It is now January 28, 2020 and we will be publishing a final update for Internet Explorer 10 on Tuesday, February 11, 2020. After that date, all updates, paid assisted support options, and technical content updates for Internet Explorer 10 will be discontinued.
Organizations running Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard still with Internet Explorer 10 have been able to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) since a while. There is a standalone update that installs Internet Explorer 11 via the Microsoft Update Catalog and as an optional update through Windows Update and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
In order to make this transition easier for you, in February of 2020, Microsoft intends to change the Internet Explorer 11 standalone update from an Optional Update to a Recommended Update. For customers using Windows Update, this means that the update will be available in the Important section of Windows Update instead of Optional. If you use WSUS, the Update Type will now be displayed as Recommended.
Once Internet Explorer 11 is installed on a devices, Microsoft recommends also to install the latest "Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer 11" for Windows Sever 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard to remain secure. Later in 2020, updates for Internet Explorer 11 will be included into the Monthly Rollup and continue to be available as "Cumulative Update Internet Explorer 11" in the Microsoft Update Catalog and WSUS.
