Will Launchbox's Windows 10 support end next October?

Just curious - the computer in my arcade machine is not going to support Windows 11, so I would be interested to know if/when Launchbox updates will only be available in Windows 11 environments?

I don't foresee us dropping Windows 10 anytime soon. The ONLY reason we dropped Win7 was because one of our dependencies did. I personally am on Windows 10 and have no desire to move to Windows 11 and so will be personally pushing to stay on that OS for as long as I can. That being said I don't make any final calls in regard to any of this so can't really make any guarantees on the matter.

While its still possible to run a local account on Windows 11, Microsoft is sure pushing to make everything cloud connected at all times. 

My main cabinet is on Windows 11 now, and it occasionally on reboot tries to get me to convert to a Microsoft account.  So far I've been able to skip it - but it sure is annoying.  Its making me think about converting my cabinets over to Linux again....   (which is a whole different nitemare)

Yeah, I personally find the ever looming OSaaS model Windows is trying to migrate into to be awful and something I'd like to avoid for as long as possible.
