Microsoft and Intel have both confirmed that they will continue to provide software and security updates to customers who own Huawei devices, PCWorld<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

Microsoft previously pulled all Huawei computers from its online store, but then proceeded to reverse this decision<\/strong><\/a> – explaining that after evaluating the situation, they had come to the conclusion that they were allowed to sell these devices.<\/p>\n

Now, Microsoft claims that to its best understanding, the blacklisting of Huawei by the United States does not forbid it from providing updates to Huawei devices currently in circulation.<\/p>\n

“Our initial evaluation of the U.S. Department of Commerce\u2019s decision on Huawei has indicated we may continue to offer Microsoft software updates to customers with Huawei devices,” said Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Intel has also reportedly confirmed that it will continue to provide security and driver updates to those who use its Intel chips in Huawei devices.<\/p>\n

This is further good news for Huawei users, after Huawei South Africa CBG general manager Likun Zhao recently told MyBroadband<\/strong><\/a> that all existing products will continue to receive support from Google.<\/p>\n
