What you’re seeing
- Windows Update on a Windows 10 PC shows no "Enroll now" link for Extended Security Updates.
- The enrollment window opens blank or spins without loading.
- Some PCs in the office see the enroll option while others don't.
- Warnings that Windows 10 has reached end of support, without a clear way to sign up.
Common causes
Every environment is different, but these are the causes our engineers find most often:
- The PC isn't on Windows 10 version 22H2 or is missing a prerequisite update.
- The PC is signed in with a local account or a work account, while the consumer enrollment flow expects a Microsoft account.
- PCs joined to a domain or managed by an organization are excluded from the consumer flow and need volume ESU licensing.
- A policy or management tool hides Windows Update options from users.
- Regional or edition restrictions limit which devices see the offer.
Why it matters
Windows 10 stopped getting regular security updates in October 2025, so PCs without ESU are exposed to every new vulnerability found since. Many small businesses still have Windows 10 machines running specialized software or older hardware that can't upgrade. Missing the enrollment means those PCs sit unpatched, often with nobody aware of the risk.

Frequently asked questions
Do business PCs get ESU the same way as home PCs?
Not always. Managed or domain-joined business PCs usually need ESU purchased through volume licensing rather than the consumer enroll button.
Should we upgrade instead of paying for ESU?
If the hardware supports Windows 11, upgrading is usually the better long-term choice. ESU is a bridge for machines that can't move yet.
Can you help us get enrolled?
Yes. Our certified US engineers can review your PCs with you over a remote secure session, from $99, and you pay only when it's resolved.
