The Windows release health page shows the same day for Windows 11 23H2 in the Enterprise and Education column: end of updates 2026-11-10. Home and Pro on 23H2 are already past end of updates. 24H2 Enterprise runs to 2027-10-12.

Product End of support
PowerShell 7.4 LTS 10-Nov-2026
PowerShell 7.5 10-Nov-2026
PowerShell 7.6 LTS 14-Nov-2028

Example

Illustrative. 20 build agents and 4 scheduled scripts on 7.4. Pin one agent to 7.6, run the scripts there for a week, then roll out the rest.

Important

Check the version in scheduled tasks and containers, not only on your own laptop. Run $PSVersionTable where the script actually runs.

Quick audit

  • ☐ List hosts and images with PowerShell 7.4 or 7.5
  • ☐ Check scheduled tasks too
  • ☐ List Windows 11 23H2 devices
  • ☐ Name an owner for each group
