ESU admin account
I have enrolled my Windows 10 for ESU by changing my account to administrator and non-local account. This synced by settings and I didn't need to backup my other files to Onedrive. My update screen confirms I'm enrolled so all good so far. My question is do I need to keep my account as an Administrator now that I am enrolled? I'm a little nervous about leaving it so, as I also have a separate local admin account for installng stuff, and prefer to keep permissions separate from day to day browsing. Thanks, Paul
Computer shuts off when opening the lid after closing the lid
So my battery is really bad I get that but even when I plug in my laptop to open the lid it decides to shut down. The shut down process is actually time consuming so it has power for a while and has decided rather than go into sleep or... to take a time consuming process of shutting down despite being plugged in. And after shutting down the login process is extremely slow. (its never quick) but the startup after this kind of shutdown is painfully slow. I have sleep when I close the lid selected.

No access to ESU and Errors
It's been two weeks currently since Win 10 ended and currently, it's still impossible for me to get the ESU link to pop up. My PC is on 22H2, with every update installed, I'm living in France, have a Microsoft account linked to my computer and active with admin settings. I'm honestly unsure where is the problem and Microsoft Twitter was not too helping if not problematic (now I'm forced to have a pin or to log with my Microsoft password where before I had my session password that was fine). When I'm "forcing" the pop up to show up so I can register, I get hit with an error, saying "We cannot enroll you to extended security updates for now. Close this window and try again." As you can imagine, it never worked. So any idea on what to do? Please?solucion imposible

Having problems with the Microsoft Store app. When I launch it, it suddenly pops up with a message on the screen: "We're very sorry, an error occurred and the Microsoft Store could not be initialized. Please try updating or come back later." I've tried various methods to solve the problem, such as reinstalling with the "Update this PC" option in the Media Creator Tool to install Windows 10, and the problem still persists. I tried using PowerShell with the following command: Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} Described in several answers for similar cases posted on the Microsoft community forum. Answer provided by user KapilArya on the hub "https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/windowsinsiderprogram/microsoft-store-wont-launch/1513414" Also, together with a support agent, a solution was attempted by creating a new user to solve the problem, but it didn't work. A diagnosis was also performed for the installation of Windows 11, but my computer doesn't have the minimum specifications for it to be installed. And even so, I still can't solve the problem and I wouldn't like to reinstall Windows 10 using external media (USB) because I would lose too much information about the applications and data that I have from several years of experience. I'm collecting and would like to know if I can do anything else to resolve this issue without losing data. I would like to get help as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention and help in resolving this issue. I attach evidence of the problem and the methods used.End of Windows 10 Support: What Defender Customers Need to Know
As of today, October 14, 2025, Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10. This means that Windows 10 devices will no longer receive security or feature updates, nor technical support from Microsoft. While these devices will continue to operate, the lack of regular security updates increases vulnerability to cyber threats, including malware and viruses. Applications running on Windows 10 may also lose support as the platform stops receiving updates. Will Defender continue to protect Windows 10 devices? Defender supports a range of legacy systems, including Windows 10. (See here for a full list of supported operating systems.) Microsoft Defender will continue to provide detection and protection capabilities to the extent possible on Windows 10 and other legacy systems. Keep in mind that security solutions on legacy systems are inherently less secure and may not be able to receive all new features, so please review the next section for important actions you can take. For Windows 10 customers without Defender, Microsoft will continue to provide security intelligence updates for the built-in Microsoft Defender Antivirus protection through October 2028. Of course, Defender Antivirus alone isn't a comprehensive risk mitigation posture without Microsoft Defender detection and response deployed across your digital estate. What should customers do to protect their Windows 10 devices? Upgrade to Windows 11: Moving to Windows 11 is strongly recommended for PCs eligible to upgrade. Windows 11 delivers the latest security features, improved performance, and ongoing support at no additional cost. This is the best way to ensure your endpoints remain protected and compliant. Devices running Windows 10 will be more vulnerable, even with ongoing security intelligence updates (SIUs). Extended security update (ESU) program: If upgrading isn’t immediately possible, Microsoft offers an ESU program for Windows 10. The ESU program provides critical and important security updates but does not include new Windows features or technical support. Enterprise customers can purchase ESU for up to three years or receive it at no additional cost with a Windows 365 subscription. Cloud and virtual environments: Windows 10 devices accessing Windows 11 Cloud PCs via Windows 365 or Virtual Machines are entitled to ESU at no extra cost, with automatic updates. Consumer customers have options to enroll for one year of ESU, including free enrollment methods in certain regions.
