I have known that all the supports of Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 has ended at Janauary 9th, 2024, the date where mentioned in Microsoft Lifecycle Policy.

But I have found some updates which released after Janauary 9th, 2024, in Microsoft Update Catalog, and these updates will provide to these Operating System which have 4 years ESU license.

So why does Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 still can receive these updates after Janauary 9th, 2024? Does these Operating System has any additional support plans after that day? When will these OS doesn’t receive any updates?
