This is the notification update for the end of support of this operating system.

There is no other information about this update. I have temporarily hidden the update until more detailed information is available. You might be interested in this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, here's the answer to the puzzle &#8211; it's an update you don't necessarily need and can hide. <\/p>\n<h2>Update KB4493132 for Windows 7 SP1<\/h2>\n<p>Update <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/de-de\/help\/4493132\/windows-7-update-kb4493132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KB4493132<\/a> is for the 'Windows 7 SP1 support notification' announcing the End of Support for this operating system. Microsoft says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>After 10 years of servicing, January 14, 2020, is the last day Microsoft will offer security updates for computers running Windows 7 SP1. This update enables reminders about Windows 7 end of support.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This update is available through Windows Update. If automatic updates are enabled, this update is automatically downloaded and installed. The update does not require any prerequisites or restart after installation. <\/p>\n<p>If this update is installed, Windows 7 users should expect to see an end-of-support notification displayed on their Windows 7 PC from April 2019. According to Microsoft, users should see thisnag screen 'a handful of times' in 2019. By starting the reminders now, Microsoft hopes that people will have time to plan and prepare the transition from Windows 7 to a successor system.<\/p>\n<p>I've had discussed more details within my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2019\/03\/12\/microsoft-announces-windows-7-end-of-life\/\">Microsoft announces Windows 7 End of Life<\/a>. Microsoft also writes in the blog post that users can select an option for \"Don't notify again\" when viewing the first notification. Then Microsoft won't send any more reminders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]Microsoft has released update KB4493132 for Windows 7 SP1.
