If Your Windows 11 shows Your version of windows has reached the end of service and clicking “Check for updates” doesn’t show any new updates, you may need to Manually Upgrade Windows 11.
Check Your Windows Version.
Press Windows + R, type winver, and hit Enter.
If your version is 21H2 or 22H2, it’s outdated and no longer supported.
Manually Upgrade Windows 11
Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Microsoft’s official site.
Run the tool and follow the instructions to upgrade to the latest version.
Choose “Keep personal files and apps” to avoid losing data.
If your Windows 11 shows “end of service” but no updates are found, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
### 1. **Confirm Your Windows Version**
– Go to **Settings > System > About**.
– Check the **Version** (e.g., 21H2, 22H2, 23H2). If it’s 21H2 or older, it may no longer be supported.
### 2. **Manually Update Using Microsoft Tools**
If Windows Update isn’t offering the latest version:
– **Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant** from [Microsoft’s website](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11).
– Run the tool to force an upgrade to the latest version (e.g., 23H2).
### 3. **Use the Media Creation Tool**
– Alternatively, use the [Media Creation Tool](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11) to create installation media and update manually.
### 4. **Check for Hardware Compatibility**
– Ensure your PC meets [Windows 11 requirements](https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-11-specifications). If not, you may need to stick with Windows 10 or upgrade hardware.
### 5. **Troubleshoot Windows Update**
– Run the **Windows Update Troubleshooter**:
– Go to **Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Windows Update**.
– Reset Windows Update components manually via Command Prompt (admin):
“`bash
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
“`
### 6. **Check for Optional Updates**
– Go to **Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options > Optional Updates**. Install any pending driver/software updates.
### 7. **Free Up Disk Space**
– Ensure at least **20 GB of free space** for updates. Clean up via **Settings > System > Storage**.
### 8. **Check for Insider Preview Expiration**
– If using an Insider Preview build, switch to the Stable Channel or reinstall a stable version via a clean install.
### 9. **Contact Support**
– If issues persist, contact [Microsoft Support](https://support.microsoft.com) or your organization’s IT team (if applicable).
### Why This Happens:
– Older Windows 11 versions (e.g., 21H2) reach “end of service” and stop receiving updates.
– Feature updates may not auto-download due to phased rollouts, compatibility issues, or Update component errors.
By manually updating or troubleshooting, you should resolve the warning and regain support.
