In the past I have refused updating my Windows 10 to windows 11, but now I'm getting messages on 10 that I have to install an update of some sort. I have seen no required updates for over a year and am wondering if they are now forcing an update to 11. Does anyone know if they are doing that or is there something else going on? If they are forcing a Windows 11 update I will be dropping Windows.

Windows 10 reached its end of support on October 14, 2025, meaning it no longer receives updates or security patches from Microsoft. Not having recent updates is high risk even for just being one month behind. Yes, Microsoft will push Windows 11 if your hardware supports it.
My recommendation is to drop Windows and switch to a different OS.Comment

There should be a list of updates with a KB (Knowledge Base) number. You can easily Google that KB Number to find out what the update is. it will then be up to you whether or not you want to install it. Note that Cumulative Updates install automatically, unless you previously stopped them (not a good idea).
Toro1, as benjos mentioned, you should update Win 10 if possible. See link below...
Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025, but offers Extended Security Updates (ESU) until 12 October 2027 for devices running Windows 10 version 22H2.
