Only 2 Percent of Win 10 PCs Have Made an Update, AdDuplex Says

Windows 10 October 2018 Update Has Some Issues

The Windows 10 October 2018 update has passed for more than one month. And the truth is that this update hasn’t been the smoothest to date.

On October 2, 2018, this update was released. And of course, the October 2 is the initial debut. However, from that time on, more and more users reported that Windows 10 update deleted their files. Due to this serious reason, this update was pulled 4 days later.

To be honest, it is not the first time that this issue has happened. For instance, in the previous Windows 10 Anniversary Update, some users even reported that the whole disk disappeared after the update.

You can see that this data loss issue caused by Windows 10 update is a tricky problem.

On the other hand, some HP computer users reported Black Screen of Death issue when they updated their Windows to this version. This also dispelled the users’ enthusiasm to make such an update.

Of course, it influences the occupancy rate of Windows 10 October 2018 update. It is said that only 2 percent of Windows 10 PCs have made an update.

It is a number from AdDuplex report. Now, you can see that detailed data from the next part.

October 2018 Update Hits 2 Percent of Windows 10 PCs

According to AdDuplex’s latest report, this update failed to make a dent. The final data shows that Windows 10 October 2018 update just share 2.3% of the whole Windows 10 market all over the world.

To be specified, the number from AdDuplex’s data shows that the usage of other Windows 10 editions has maintained the previous occupancy status, only with minor fluctuations as these users move forward.

The above comparison chart is about the occupancy status of each Windows 10 versions. You can see that compared to other Windows 10 versions, the April 2018 Update (Windows 10 A18U, version 1803) continues to dwarf the share.

The closest is that the Fall Creators Update (Windows 10 FCU, version 1709) fallen to 4.6 percent coverage, and we are sure that you can image this result.

In addition, The Creators Update (Windows 10 CU, version 1703) and Anniversary Update (Windows 10 AU, version 1607) go with 1.9 percent and 1.8 percent respectively. Well, the Windows 10 version 1511 and Windows 10 version 1507 show as 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent respectively.

The actual numbers of these market occupancy statuses may be different. This difference is more apparent especially when the Microsoft released its official number. It is likely that AdDuplex used the sampling data which depends on a collection of around 5,000 Microsoft Store apps that take advantage of its SDK.

But the overall result has no big different:

As Windows 10 October 2018 Update went out to “seekers” on October 2nd and then was pulled back before it went to everyone else, it didn’t get a chance to make a serious dent in the April Update numbers.reports.adduplex.com
