Microsoft is ending OneDrive support for Windows 10 version 22H1, giving users on the older build less than a month to upgrade before they lose access to new features, security patches, and bug fixes.
The change, reported by PCWorld, takes effect on August 15, 2026. After that date, OneDrive will no longer receive updates on systems running Windows 10 22H1. File synchronization may still function, but any issues that arise will be unlikely to receive official support or fixes from Microsoft, creating potential security vulnerabilities over time.
The affected build is Windows 10 22H1, also referred to as the 2022 Feature Update, released in the first half of 2022. Users still on this version need to update to Windows 10 22H2 (the 2022 H2 update) to continue receiving OneDrive support.
Microsoft has set an end-of-support date of October 10, 2028 for Windows 10 22H2 itself, meaning users who upgrade now will have roughly another two years of OneDrive support on Windows 10 before Microsoft’s broader Windows 10 support window closes.
The move is consistent with Microsoft’s broader strategy of encouraging users to stay on supported Windows 10 builds, and eventually transition to Windows 11. As the August 15 deadline approaches, users still on 22H1 should verify their Windows version by opening Settings > System > About and checking the “Version” field. If it reads 22H1, the upgrade to 22H2 is accessible through Windows Update.
For enterprise and education customers, the impact may be broader, as many organizations still manage fleets of Windows 10 devices on older builds. IT administrators should prioritize the 22H2 upgrade before the deadline to avoid disruption to cloud storage and file synchronization workflows.
