  • Microsoft allows Russians to download Windows OS after suspension
    Microsoft has again allowed Russian citizens to download the latest updates.

Microsoft has permitted Russians to download and install its Windows operating system and updates after September's suspension, a Russian newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing IT specialists.

In September, Microsoft banned Russian users from updating their computers to the recent version of the Windows 11 operating system. Users who tried to download it on the company's website saw a blank window open, and the website section on the installation of the operating system's latest version was unavailable.

The report stated that Microsoft has again allowed Russian citizens to download the latest updates. The page on the company's official website is loading now without a VPN, and users can install the latest version of the Windows 11 operating system -- 22H2 -- as well as Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7.
