Microsoft “fixed” the date of the death of the Office suite on Windows 10 Mobile

In a statement this week, Microsoft revealed that Office applications for Windows 10 Mobile will stop working on January 21. That means that after this deadline expires, applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote will no longer receive any security updates or hotfixes.

Of course, these Office applications will continue to work after Windows 10 Mobile officially retires next week. But Microsoft emphasized that it will no longer release any security updates for Office.

On the other hand, Office applications will officially stop supporting in January 2021, and download links will be deleted. This means that only devices installed at that time will be able to use Office.

Up to this point, the market share of the Windows Phone OS operating system is less than 1%. In other words, this operating system has officially ended its mission and will soon become a "memory" for a while with the technology world. Although Microsoft still regrets the early departure of the "darling" but it does not forget to remind users to soon switch to another operating system to receive updates.

Microsoft writes on the blog: "Because there are no more security updates, we recommend that you use Office on your phone to switch to Android or iOS. There, you not only find familiar applications like Word, Excel. , PowerPoint, but also always get the latest improvements. "

In fact, Windows 10 Mobile has begun to fade and very few users since a few years ago. Therefore, ending support next week may not affect too many people because most of them have actively switched to Android and iOS operating systems early.
