Windows 7 can be affected but MS probably won't patch it.

I wouldn't expect Windows 7 to be issued a patch. It's an 11 year OS that even Extended Support ended 1 1/2 years ago.

Win7 paid support continues as we speak, so they are obliged to fix it. if they are going to offer the patch for free, who knows...

I just don't see many people paying for extended support. It's going up to $100 next year whereas you can get Windows 10 Extended Support for free until 2025. I guess if someone really likes using Windows 7 then they might pay for Extended Support.

Some excerpts:

Windows 7 - seems unaffected (we were unable to remotely connect so it's possible printing is not exposed via RPC; further testing is needed)

Also, WIndows 10 is not affected unless joined to a domain. My guess is 7 is just too old to speak whatever domain protocol it's using.

This whole thing is a nonissue for home users.
