Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024
Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 is the Long-Term Servicing Channel build of Windows 11 Enterprise — a specialised edition for businesses and managed environments that must stay on a fixed, predictable OS version for years without feature-update churn. Based on Windows 11 version 24H2 and released in October 2024, it is the preferred choice for kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, industrial controllers, medical devices and any deployment where operational continuity is a compliance or engineering requirement.
What LTSC means
LTSC stands for Long-Term Servicing Channel. Unlike standard Windows 11 Enterprise, which receives a new feature version each year, LTSC 2024 receives no annual feature updates for its whole lifecycle — only monthly security patches and critical fixes. The OS stays frozen at the 24H2 baseline, which is exactly what long-running, locked-down deployments need.
- Released: 1 October 2024 (based on Windows 11 version 24H2)
- Support ends: 9 October 2029 (5-year window for Enterprise LTSC 2024)
- Feature updates: none by design — security & critical fixes only
- Architecture: 64-bit only
- Need a longer horizon? The IoT edition (Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2024) is supported for 10 years, until October 2034.
Enterprise-grade security & management included
- BitLocker — full-disk encryption that keeps data safe if a device is lost or stolen.
- Credential Guard — uses virtualisation-based security to isolate domain credentials against pass-the-hash and pass-the-ticket attacks.
- AppLocker & Windows Defender Application Control — restrict which applications can run across the fleet by publisher, path or hash.
- Microsoft Defender Antivirus & SmartScreen — built-in, always-on protection against malware and malicious sites.
- Centralised management — deploy and govern devices at scale with Microsoft Intune, Group Policy and Windows Autopilot.
- Microsoft Edge — included as the default browser. The Microsoft Store, Cortana, the modern Teams app, Widgets and Copilot are not part of the LTSC image; classic apps (Notepad, Calculator, Paint) are.

Support lifecycle

Frequently asked questions
What does LTSC mean?
LTSC is the Long-Term Servicing Channel — a specialised Windows 11 Enterprise build that receives only security and critical patches, with no annual feature updates. It is designed for environments where multi-year OS stability matters more than access to new features.
How long is Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 supported?
Five years — from its 1 October 2024 release until 9 October 2029, with monthly security updates throughout. The IoT edition is supported for ten years (until October 2034).
Does LTSC 2024 receive feature updates?
No — by design. The feature set is frozen at the Windows 11 24H2 baseline for the entire lifecycle; you receive security and critical fixes only.
What are the hardware requirements?
The same as Windows 11 24H2: a compatible 64-bit processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, UEFI firmware with Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0. See the System Requirements section for the full list.
How is it different from standard Windows 11 Enterprise?
Both share the same security and management features. LTSC 2024 removes annual feature updates and the bundled Store/Copilot/modern-Teams apps, and gives you a fixed five-year support window instead of yearly version upgrades.
What is the difference from the IoT LTSC 2024 edition?
The IoT edition is serviced for ten years (vs five) and has relaxed hardware requirements (TPM and Secure Boot optional). It targets embedded and fixed-function devices; the standard Enterprise LTSC targets business desktops.
Is Microsoft Teams or the Microsoft Store included?
No — the modern Teams app, Microsoft Store, Cortana, Widgets and Copilot are not part of the LTSC image. Microsoft Edge and the classic apps (Notepad, Calculator, Paint) are included.
