My computer has the latest update. Edition Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎18/‎04/‎2024 OS Build 19045.6332 However, when I open settings to Enrol in Extended Security Updates, I get as far as signing into my Microsoft Account. See below: However, I then get into my account, but there are no prompts. All I get is encouragement to subscribe to Microsoft 365 etc and a list of my computers. But no prompt to Extend security updates. I've checked online, but I'm not getting the next window that is shown.

Hi, good day! Have you seen the ESU program offered on your PC, specifically in the Update and Security settings or not yet? If yes, is that the error that appears after you click the "Enroll now" button?

Hi John, Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean by the "ESU program offered on your PC" I open Settings Click on "Update & Security" Click on "Windows Update" I'm informed I'm "up to date" I click on "Enrol Now" I get this pop-up: I click on "Next" I get this pop-up: I click on "Sign into your account" I am then logged into my account, but there is no way I can see to enrol. All I get is my account page with info about my computers: See part screen shot below: I just don't know where to go from here?

Thanks Neil D, Iv'e now managed to enrol

However, I then get into my account, but there are no prompts. All I get is encouragement to subscribe to Microsoft 365 etc and a list of my computers. But no prompt to Extend security updates. I've checked online, but I'm not getting the next window that is shown.

Same issue here, I have done updates, signed out and back in, but every time I try to add this device for the free year of Extended Security Updates, it gives me the same error.

Had same issue, resolved it by restarting my laptop. After complete installation of last update, the link to enroll shows up on Windows Update page. However, it keeps on asking me to login to my account and fix something, there were no pop ups once login in to fix.

I restarted the laptop after several tries in this state. Once it restarted, navigated back to Windows update and click the link. This time didn't ask to log in to ms account but says you eligible for ESU, I clicked next and it registered my device for ESU. Think restarting reset and fixed the issue.

Prior restarting as well, I updated all browsers to latest and greatest. Hope this helps.

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean by the "ESU program offered on your PC"

I open Settings

Click on "Update & Security"

Click on "Windows Update"

I'm informed I'm "up to date"

I click on "Enrol Now"

I get this pop-up:

I click on "Next"

I get this pop-up:

I click on "Sign into your account"

I am then logged into my account, but there is no way I can see to enrol. All I get is my account page with info about my computers: See part screen shot below:

I just don't know where to go from here?

John, as I mentioned above, I'm getting the same issue as Richard - I want to purchase the ESU as I don't qualify for a free option. Clicking on 'Enrol now' in Windows Update and Security prompts me to sign into my MS Account and follow any prompts. I do that, but no prompts, and no visible option to enrol. Please can you help?

You need to be signed in to windows using your Microsoft account and be an administrator user.

Do you sign-in to windows using your Microsoft account?

It's buried on the first page:

You need to be signed in to windows using your Microsoft account and be an administrator user.

Do you sign-in to windows using your Microsoft account?

But I don't think it will help on its own.

Tim, it's in amongst the comments on the first page of this thread. I copied the comment and as you can see it was nothing more than a question about using a Microsoft account to sign-in to windows. This was rather than using a local account.

I was thinking a Microsoft account should be used to sign in to windows rather than using a local account.

If you use a local account presently try going to Accounts in Settings and select the option to Sign-in with a Microsoft account instead. Once you have followed the process then restart and your Microsoft account will be shown on the sign-in screen. Sign-in with that and check windows update again. You may have to wait a while perhaps until tomorrow.

If it doesn't change anything you can use the process again this time by selecting Sign-in with a local account instead.

I got the same result as GG. "Something went wrong..." Ugh. EDITED 10.07.25 I tried again today and was successful. The first message was that my Microsoft account was enrolled and to add the device, so I clicked that button and got another message that my device was enrolled. Don't ask, I don't know lol. Just bought (free) some time until I find a new computer that meets my needs at a good sale price.

Same with me. I've been trying solid for almost 4 days to try and fix this issue. I'm now at 19045.6332 which microsoft's AI agent told me was the most recent and had fixes for the ESU issue. I've been trying everything: Update Troubleshooter, DISM, sfc, getting rid of the SoftwareDistribution and catroot2 folders. Nothing has seemed to help. On one Microsoft page, it said you would be able to enroll in ESU until next year at this time. I'm intending on doing it as soon as possible, but I can't open the Update & Settings page/pop-up to even get to see the ESU button. I have backed up everything using OneDrive and should get ESU free for doing that. I login to my account and hoped I could at least click on something there to buy it. I see nothing. As a Software Test Engineer who's done tons of upgrade testing at major corporations, this is a load of crappy, crap, crap.
