Microsoft Office 2019 reached its end of support on 14 October 2025. As a result, Microsoft no longer provides security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for this version.
This means that any vulnerabilities discovered since this date are not being addressed, potentially leaving systems exposed to increased security risks.
What does this mean for your business?
If your business is still running Office 2019, your systems may now be more vulnerable to cyber threats. Without ongoing updates or patches, even known issues can become significant risks over time.
There may also be wider implications, including challenges around compliance and maintaining secure, supported systems.
What are your options?
If you are still using Office 2019, it’s important to take action to reduce risk and maintain protection:
- Upgrade to a supported version of Microsoft Office
- Invest in new hardware that includes the latest version of Office
- Note: Extended Security Updates (ESU) are not available for Office 2019
Can you still run Office 2019?
While Office 2019 will continue to function, it is now an unsupported product. Continuing to use it is not recommended due to the growing security and compliance risks.
Next steps
Moving away from unsupported software is an important step in keeping your systems secure and your business running smoothly. With the right support in place, upgrading can be a straightforward and well-managed process.
