How can I get my Windows 10 22H2 PC registered for the Windows 10 ESU Program?

Hey Reinhold — the ESU (Extended Security Updates) program for Windows 10 isn’t something you manually “register” for via Windows Update. It’s tied to your licensing type.

If you’re a business or organization, you’ll need to buy ESU licenses through Microsoft Volume Licensing or a Cloud Solution Provider. If you’re just using a personal PC, you’ll get the ESU offer automatically once Microsoft opens it up in Windows Update — it hasn’t rolled out to everyone yet.

I have the correct version of Windows (22H2) and the proper update from Nov. 2024 (KB5046613) per Google AI. I did not receive an invitation (first I've heard of it) but Google AI says there should be an enroll button on my windows update page. There's not.

Here als still no link to subscribe to the Windows 10 ESU ... anyone have an update on that? Microsoft techsupport...???

What's with all this cloak and dagger nonsense from Microsoft about extending the security updates?

It should be a straightforward process for everyone who wants to access the ESU.

Of the 5 Windows 10 PCs that I own only 2 received the invitation to join the ESU program. After trying all sorts of things (turning location on/off, switching between a Local account and Microsoft account login, etc, etc ...) I came across information on 4 commands to enter in the Command window (CMD in Administrator mode) that fixed the problem for me. It worked :-)  After entering the first 3 commands, rebooting, and then entering a 4th command, the offer to register for the ESU program appeared on the Windows Update page. I was able to add all my 5 computers. I chose the option to pay $30 USD + taxes (covers up to 10 computers that you own) but the two free options look ok too. Here's the site where I found the instructions I used ... but there are other websites that offer the same info:  https://tips2fix.com/windows-10-esu-enrollment-not-showing-heres-the-quick-fix/  If you're not comfortable entering commands in a Windows Command window you might ask a geeky friend for help. I hope this helps 🙂

I too am missing the ESU option in the Windows Update screen. I am an administrator and have all updates installed. I was referred by the Support Chat to the Tech Community to ask about this. Is there any answer on when we should expect to see the enrollment option?

I, too, am wondering this.  I saw Forbes article yesterday that stated that KB5063709 would provide the link to enroll in ESU.  After installing it and restarting several times the past couple of days, I still fail to see the link on my Windows Update page.  A chat person (bot?) in the Live Chat that Microsoft offers for support told me that the rollout is gradual.  He(?) implied that some users still might not see the link until October and completely dismissed the idea that KB5063709 had anything to do with this.

Who knows?
