Karlston Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Windows 10 Mobile is dead ... again Microsoft is pretty diligent about posting end-of-life dates for its products, making it clear how long they will be supported until they aren't anymore. For Windows 10 Mobile version 1709, the final version of the OS, that date was December 10, 2019. On that day, Windows 10 Mobile was finally dead. Until it was revived. A few short days later, Microsoft updated a support document to say that Windows 10 Mobile will actually no longer be supported after January 14, 2020. There was no explanation posted, and we even reached out to the Redmond firm and couldn't get a proper answer. At the time and to this day, extending support for the OS seems like a very unlikely thing to do. Very few people are still using it. Even the die-hards hanging onto their Lumia 930 units couldn't get anything beyond Windows 10 Mobile version 1607. Version 1709 was exclusive to phones that actually shipped with Windows 10 Mobile. But as of today, the failed OS is finally dead. Well, it should be dead. After what happened last month, frankly anything is possible.

cosy Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 How long is this going to die? We have had this and that all the time. MS has reverted the decision and again reinstated the opposite.

Long live my Windows Phone- But it is still going as of now Hi dear friend @cosy I had an Lumia 640XL Dual chip and I think it's the best device I've ever had, despite hardware limitations, by far beats my other device, a UMIGI One MAX that has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but is well behind Lumia in terms of quality. I believe that if I had a more robust device running Windows Phone I would never use Android, which in spite of everything I truly think sucks.

Not the MS launcher, but one put out by a different company. It makes my Android look just like my desktop, plus it is far easier to use than the regular Android launch screen. I suppose that is because it looks, and behaves so much like Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
