critical Nessus Plugin ID 118716

Language:

Synopsis

The remote operating system is no longer supported.

Description

Microsoft Windows 10 version 1703 is running on the remote host.
Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 version 1703 Home/Pro on October 9, 2018 and ends for Windows 10 version 1703 Enterprise/Educational on October 8, 2019.

Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities. Furthermore, Microsoft is unlikely to investigate or acknowledge reports of vulnerabilities.

Solution

Upgrade to a version of Microsoft Windows that is currently supported.
