Which versions are no longer supported by the developer especially on security fixes/patch?
Microsoft edge browser version 14 until 117.

hi sorry, may I know where can I get these information? As I cannot actually get the answers I need from the links. Also, according to your response, edge version 113 and all older versions no longer get any security patches, whereas there is an information stated that version 109 was still getting updated recently. Appreciate to get your responses soon, thank you very much!dftf-wip

Hi sinchi1175
If you click the first-link I shared earlier ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnotes-security ) it lists past updates to Edge. If you then hold your Control key and press F it'll bring-up a small panel at the right of the address-bar where you can search for text on that page. I typed 109 and the most-recent update listed is 109.0.1518.115, which was released 13 June this-year:
There are no more-recent updates listed on that-page for the 109 version. If you are hearing differently, could you share a link to the article you are looking at?
Then for the guidance on which versions of Edge get supported that was the second-link ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-support-lifecycle ) I sent you. Simply scroll-down the page, and refer to the table there:
It advises that the for the stable releases of Edge (the "4-week Stable" row) that the support period is the "current and 2 previous". The current stable-version of Edge is, as of today, 116.0.1938.69. This means that the 116, 115 and 114 releases are still getting updates. But 113 would not be, as that would be the 3rd-previous release, and the table clearly says "and 2 previous", not three.
Then for the corporate "Extended Stable" release of Edge it says the "current and 1 previous", BUT for that version of Edge, it only applies to the even-number releases. So currently Edge 116 and Edge 114 are the ones being supported.
In that table, "servicing coverage" means "how long does this version of Edge get updates for" and "support coverage across releases" means "how long can you contact Microsoft for support for that version of Edge". Support lasts-longer than the actual updates do!
