Description
Windows 10 is maintained by Microsoft at servicing levels for specific periods of time to support Windows as a Service. As new versions with feature updates are released, the STIG will be updated to address new requirements as needed around when the version is declared a Current Branch for Business (CBB). Supporting new requirements will require systems to be at the most recent Windows 10 CBB version. A separate servicing branch intended for special purpose systems is the Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) which will receive security updates for 10 years but excludes feature updates. Systems using an LTSB version may not be able to meet all requirements of the STIG as new features are added, which organizations will need to address.
