Microsoft will stop releasing new Office features on Windows 10 — you'll need to upgrade to Windows 11 for the latest features soon

Office icons.

Microsoft has confirmed that it will stop releasing new features in Office for users still running Windows 10 starting next year (via The Verge.) While Office will remain supported with security updates until 2028, new features will stop being delivered to Windows 10 customers starting in August 2026.

That means there's just over a year of new feature updates in Office left for Windows 10 users. If you want to continue receiving new features in Office beyond October 2026, you will have to upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft says that although new features will stop being delivered, the apps themselves will continue to work as normal.
