Update website continued to be available after Windows Me's end of support date, however, during 2011, Microsoft retired the Windows Update v4 website and removed the updates for Windows Me from its servers. Support for Office XP on Windows Me ended on July 12, 2011, ending support for all versions of Office on Windows Me. Microsoft announced in July 2019 that the Microsoft Internet Games services on Windows Me (and XP) would end on July 31, 2019. Reception Windows Me initially received generally positive reviews, with reviewers citing the operating system's integrity protection (branded as "PC Health") and the new System Restore feature as steps forward for home users. However, users' real-world experience did not bear this out, with industry publications receiving myriad reports of problems with the "PC Health" systems, PCs refusing to shut down cleanly, and general stability problems. As time went on, the reception became even more negative, to the point where it was heavily panned by users, mainly due to stability problems. Because of its many bugs and glitches, Windows Me is now infamously viewed as one of the worst operating systems of all time and the biggest failure in the Microsoft Windows operating systems, both in critical and retrospect, being unfavorably compared to its immediate predecessor and successor.

The article states: "Shortly after Me appeared in late 2000, users reported problems installing it, getting it to run, getting it to work with other hardware or software, and getting it to stop running." Consequently, as a result of these heavy criticisms, most home users ultimately opted to stick with its predecessor, Windows 98 Second Edition, for the remainder of Windows Me’s lifecycle until Windows XP, while some moved over to Windows 2000 Professional, despite the latter operating system being primarily marketed towards the high-end business and enterprise market at the time. In Netherlands and Sweden, Windows Me was mockingly nicknamed "Windows Meer Ellende" and "Windows Mycket Elände" (Dutch and Swedish for "more suffering", respectively). System Restore suffered from a bug in the date-stamping functionality that could cause System Restore to incorrectly date-stamp snapshots that were taken after September 8, 2001. This could prevent System Restore from locating these snapshots and cause the system restore process to fail. Microsoft released an
