During a notification posted over the forums, Microsoft explains that agents don't contribute with tech support, instead offering basic moderation through out the community.
"Please be advised that effective July 2018, the forum topics for merchandise that reached end of support not receive tech support team from Microsoft agents.

"Not the best big loss"
For some users, Microsoft agents not monitoring threads and offering solutions isn't a real big deal, just as many of their solutions have always been considered useless. These agents, who don't work directly for Microsoft, mainly third-party companies hired to produce support, typically provide generic solutions that don't help much when it comes to complex bugs.
Nonetheless, it's important to note that this particular isn't the end of support for Windows 7. Security updates will continue to be offered until January 2020, so users still running it possess more than a year and a half to upgrade their devices to the newer os in this handset.
Windows 7 has become the world's beloved desktop software with a share that exceeds 40 percent, while Windows 10 remains to be behind with approximately 34 percent.
