Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1703 Unsupported Version Detection

critical Nessus Plugin ID 118716

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.
