Microsoft has quietly revealed that it will stop adding new features to Office apps (Microsoft 365) for Windows 10 users in August 2026. While security updates will remain in place for Office apps running on Windows 10 until October 2028, Microsoft will cut off new feature support gradually next year.

Microsoft 365 Personal and Family users will stop getting new features on Windows 10 in August 2026, alongside Current Channel users on the business side. Microsoft then plans to cut off new Office features for monthly enterprise channel users on Windows 10 on October 13th 2026, followed by the same for semi-annual enterprise channel users on January 12th 2027.

Microsoft was forced to perform a U-Turn on security updates for Office apps on Windows 10 earlier this year, but at the time it didn’t reveal that new features would be cut off starting in 2026. The change means you’ll have to upgrade to Windows 11 to get the latest Microsoft 365 features. Windows 10 goes end of life on October 14th, and Microsoft has committed to delivering security updates for Office apps on Windows 10 until October 10th, 2028.
