Microsoft Windows Servicing Options

On Microsoft Windows 10 systems, new servicing options are available.

Oracle Database supports the following servicing options:

• Semi-Annual Channel

• Long-Term Servicing Channel

Other servicing options, such as Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) are not supported. Oracle previously supported the former Windows servicing options, such as the Current Branch for Business (CBB) and Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB).

Note:

Oracle supports its database products on these channel releases that become generally available for as long as Microsoft supports the channel version. Once Microsoft support ends for a specific channel version, Oracle's support ends for that version as well. Oracle may recommend that customers wait until relevant Oracle patches have been released before upgrading to a particular channel version. Oracle may recommend or discourage the installation of a specific channel version if it significantly affects the operation of Oracle software, either positively or negatively. If such a statement is deemed necessary, Oracle will disseminate this statement on My Oracle Support.
