Bump ahead for WMR headsets...
- Thread starter The Lawful
- Start date
What the what?... This makes no sense. And Defender too? Damn.
Thanks for sharing.
That's concerning, especially as it's very unclear if they will remove the feature in future versions of Windows (i.e. not offer it anymore), or if I will turn on my PC one day and find my HMD being a brick because they actively delete it from my system.
Is this a hint to start looking for a new headset? Where does one go from a G2 if Meta isn't and option (it is not)? I really like my G2...

Well there seems to be a little mote info on this:

Yeah I am still on 10, and will probably be until October 2025, so I hope I'm safe-ish.
Only for Edge for Business.
If one installs a feature update (a major version increment) to a version that doesn't support the feature, then it will be removed.
There aren't likely to be any more feature updates for Windows 10. 22H2 is likely it and since WMR is part of 22H2, it's not going anywhere for Windows 10.
Not sure how many more feature updates Windows 11 will get. Regardless, it's possible to disable feature updates while still getting security updates.
Can one expect a warning from MS if or when a Win11 update doesn't support WMR?
The update that finally removes it will state as much in the patch notes.
I'm not surprised at evil Microsoft. I wonder if HP will do anything to keep their hardware going?
(I have my doubts though)
And will Steam?
