Windows 10 Commercial ESU - Unsure if it's working
Hi!
Our organization has purchased Windows 10 Commericla ESU licenses for a handful of computers that we do not wish to update to Windows 11. I have applied the licenses following the steps outlined in this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates#install-and-activate-the-esu-key
I ran the verification command (slmgr.vbs /dlv) and confirmed that the command indicates that this computer has installed Year 1 of Commercial ESU.
However, I still see "Your version of Windows has reached the end of support" when I navigate to Settings/Update & Security/Windows Update. Is this just a visual bug, or is this an indication that I have not properly enrolled this computer into Commercial ESU. So far, both computers I have tested this on are showing the same behavior. Thank you in advance.

It sounds like you've correctly applied the Windows 10 Commercial ESU key and verified the activation status via slmgr.vbs /dlv, confirming that the system recognizes Year 1 ESU. However, the persistent "Your version of Windows has reached the end of support" message in Windows Update suggests that the system may not fully recognize the ESU licensing status in the context of Windows Update notifications.
