Ubisoft has announced that its Uplay PC client is set to end support for Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system. Posted on its help site, Ubisoft says that the reason for ending support is due to Windows Vista becoming end of life soon:

With official support for Windows Vista soon to end, we have decided to end our support of this now legacy operating system. This will allow us to take advantage of newer technologies moving forward and ensure the highest possible security for our users.

For those who are still using Windows Vista, games will continue to be playable, however, future Uplay PC client updates will not be installed, potentially leaving open any security holes that currently exist, as well as any bugs.

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, such as Windows 10, to continue to receive Uplay updates.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
