在蓝色的警告屏幕上写道:“2023 年 1 月 10 日是微软为运行 Windows 8.1 系统设备提供安全更新和技术支持的最后一天。我们现在联系你一方面是感谢你的忠诚使用,另一方面也是为了帮助你准备升级相关事宜”。
通过上周发布的 Windows 8.1 KB5015874 累积更新,Windows 8.1 设备开始出现这个警告提醒。当用户登录到系统中就会看到这个提醒,页面上提供了 2 个选项,要么选择“Remind me later”(稍后提醒我,通常意味着 35 天之后),要么是“Remind me after the end of support date”(在结束停止日后再提醒我,也就是在 Windows 8.1 结束停止前仅提示 1 次)。
微软表示这个警告并不会出现在 Windows 8.1 专业版、企业版、Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise 和 Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro 版本中。
Windows 8.1 的主流支持于 2018 年 1 月 9 日停止,而扩展支持将会持续到 2023 年 1 月 10 日。微软表示该日期之后所有的支持都会停止。微软鼓励依然使用这款老系统的设备尽快的进行升级。
The blue warning screen reads: “January 10, 2023 is the last day Microsoft provides security updates and technical support for devices running Windows 8.1. We contact you now, on the one hand, to thank you for your loyal use, on the other hand, to help you prepare for upgrading related matters.
With the Windows 8.1 KB5015874 cumulative update released last week, this warning alert began to appear on Windows 8.1 devices. Users will see this reminder when they log in to the system, and there are two options on the page, either “Remind me later” (remind me later, which usually means 35 days later) or “Remind me after the end of support date” (remind me again after the end stop, that is, prompt me only once before the Windows 8.1 stops).
Microsoft said the warning would not appear in Windows 8.1 Professional, Enterprise, Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise and Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro versions.
Mainstream support for Windows 8.1 ceased on January 9, 2018, while extended support will continue until January 10, 2023. Microsoft says all support will be stopped after that date. Microsoft encourages devices that still use the old system to upgrade as soon as possible.
