 The [Extended Security Updates (ESU)](/en-us/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates) program is a last resort option for customers who need to run certain legacy Microsoft products past the end of support. For example, Windows 10. It includes Critical and/or Important security updates (as defined by the [Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC)](https://www.microsoft.com/msrc)) for a maximum of three years after the product's End of Extended Support date.

+Starting in Configuration Manager version 2609, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and their Windows Storage Server editions are no longer supported as client operating systems.
 
 Client management features not related to Windows software update management or OS deployment will no longer be tested on the operating systems covered under the ESU program and we don't guarantee that they'll continue to function. It's highly recommended to upgrade or migrate to a current version of the operating systems as soon as possible to receive client management support.
