Confused over Windows 10 bug that wrongly told people they were out of support? It's just been fixed

• Windows 10's October patch carried a confusing bug
• Microsoft has now confirmed that some people who had extended support were told they weren't supported
• This wasn't the case, and it worried some of those who saw the warning

Microsoft has admitted that a bug meant some Windows 10 users were wrongly informed that their PC is out of support after a patch for the OS was pushed out last month.

Tom's Hardware reports that Microsoft confirmed the issue, which is mainly affecting business users, but also some consumers, namely those running Windows 10 Pro.

The problem was introduced in the final October update for Windows 10 – or at least it was the final upgrade for those who haven't signed up for the extended support program.
