"It’s a New Year, and a good time for a reminder of upcoming dates in
the Visual Studio support lifecycle. Support for Visual Studio 2013 will
end on April 9 of this year. If you’re using an older version of Visual
Studio, we want to keep you productive and secure when using Visual
Studio, and strongly recommend you upgrade to Visual Studio 2022."
