Could it be that some people have installed O&O ShutUp10++ and that's why the message won't go away? That was the case for me, and after I reset O&O ShutUp10++, all the messages disappeared after the update search. Maybe this will help some users.
It's x86 only who still has the EOS message and these tests are with fresh installs (nothing else installed): https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1893778
Well I don't care about this blah.. warning, I am happy to be supported until 2032 as I am using Iot Enterprise 2021 LTSC
@Torath @patapout @sorvergen @rayman95 Some tools like O&Oshutup and others are making changes in the system in a way that is preventing the Windows settings from getting the latest fixes. To undo that, Open Command Prompt as Administrator and enter the following commands: Code: reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v DisableOneSettingsDownloads /f reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet" /v EnableActiveProbing /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f Restart the system, run “Check for updates” again. The end-of-support message should no longer appear.
That x86 issue is different, and Microsoft still hasn't fixed it. The fix I posted is for x64, where the EOS message is still there because the user ran some privacy tools.
This is a new install, barely 1 month old and I haven’t yet used O&Oshutup or any other privacy tool on this installation. Still, I'm willing to try your suggestion and I will report back. Edit: No change.
What fixed it for me was ENABLING the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\OneSettings\RefreshCache", as hinted by abbodi in the ESU thread here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...and-troubleshooting.89665/page-5#post-1893688 I had it disabled for some reason, most probably was trying to minimize the number of MS processes running on the machine at a any given moment. I think i'll install an image I have from earlier today in a VM when the EOS message was being displayed and double-check.
I tested "Your device is no longer receiving security updates" on a couple of fresh VMs. There appear to be a few factors that prevent this from being "fixed": If wlidsvc (Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant) and possibly Diagtrack (Connected User Experiences and Telemetry) service(s) are disabled. If GPO "Disabled OneSetting Downloads" is set to Enabled, or Registry Key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection\DisableOneSettingsDownloads) is set to "1" If Task Scheduler Task "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\OneSettings\RefreshCache" is disabled/deleted. If you have Windows Advanced Firewall (or other software firewall) blocking all outbound connections. Once those are corrected, system populates %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\OneSettings, and the message disappears. I'm not sure exactly sure how/when the OneSettings stuff is applied, so don't know if you could stage the "fix" into an offline image.
Cloned an image made earlier today in a VM and confirmed that for my installation the culprit was really the task at "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\OneSettings\RefreshCache" being disabled. Took some 2~5min after enabling it for the "UsoSettings.json" file be updated and the EOS msg was gone.
Unfortunately, still no joy. Also, I have looked through most my TrueImage backup and I don't see any mention of a file by the name of UsoSettings.json. EDIT: One last step I forgot to check done it. My damned firewall was blocking the connection due to a custom rule I had set in ESET labelled "Telemetry?" I followed the list as detailed by @garoto and then saw @andom mention about firewall connections. All good now. Thanks everyone for the assistance!
