Putin's computer is installed "hole" Windows XP, which has not been supported for 11 years

One of the latter appeared at the end of April 2025, when he met with the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov. Windows XP was released in 2001, Microsoft stopped her support in 2014, and the latest security update for her was released in 2019. Thus, the Putin computer is vulnerable to vulnerabilities found after the OS support has been completed. Some Russian media reported in 2019 that Putin uses the ancient operating system.

And since then the situation has not changed. It is noteworthy that the Russian president is constantly talking about the need to develop a "imported" software. Only at the end of May did he stated that the lack of Russian software was recognized as a threat in 2022, and today the task of increasing the use of Russian software is a priority. Putin demanded to "suffocate" foreign services that declared a departure, but did not completely leave the Russian market.

It is, in particular, about Zoom and Microsoft. Putin also demanded to deprive Russians who use Western programs and services, "bad habits". Because large companies go to Yandex and VK services, while simple users have "habits". But he continues to use archaic Windows XP, as the picture on the main screen changes from time to time and from there some icons disappear. But it is not known whether Putin's computer is connected to the Internet.

The desktop picture on Putin's computer also remains unchanged - there is a constant photo of the Kremlin. Microsoft released Windows XP in 2001, and in 2014 stopped its support. The latest Windows XP safety update was released in 2019. You can continue to use Windows XP after support, the computer will still work, but it can be more vulnerable to safety and viruses. In addition, it will slowly download the sites. Windows XP to Windows 7, or Windows 10 is impossible. You need to buy a new software.
