People aren't exactly flocking to to the Windows 10 October Update

Can't think why.....

 

People aren't looking through their Windows

 

WINDOWS USERS are still avoiding the troubled October 2018 Update to Windows 10, following a catalogue of disasters.

Although Microsoft released the update to "advanced" users at the end of last year, and to everyone without a "showstopper" (of which more below) at the start of 2019, the staggered rollout means that it hasn't actually been served to everyone even now.

New figures from AdDuplex (spotted first by BetaNews) show all that faffing means that just 12.4 per cent of Windows 10 users are on the current edition; compare that to a macOS update, which is on the majority of machines in days.

 

At the moment, the vast majority (80.2 per cent) are using Build 1803, the Windows 10 Spring 2018 Update.

Ad Duplex wonders if we'll ever see 1809 at all on some machines: "With only a few months to go until the next Windows 10 update is supposed to go mainstream, it is unclear if some PCs may have to install two major updates within a short period of time or go straight from A18U to 19H1."

They're right - we're getting nearer the end of this particular chapter of Windows-as-a-Service than the beginning and with such poor uptake, it might prove just easier to wait until the clinically named 19H1 update due in April.

This is particularly true for Enterprise users. If you were System Manager in charge of the deployment of hundreds of PCs, would you risk it? Didn't think so.

Problems with 1809 have included files being shredded, zip files borking, iTunes not syncing, file associations breaking, mapped network drives disconnecting, issues with security endpoint software, UWP apps getting too much access to your data, BSOD on HP machines, and component problems with the Intel Display Driver, and issues with certain graphics cards.

So just another day at the office, Brad.

Windows 10 is now the world's most used operating system, finally overtaking Windows 7 after two-and-a-half years at the turn of 2019.

My Friend told me today that its  been  90 days and still it don't show  up on there live updates  so how do they upgrade it  without download the ISO or Widows update tool   and forcing it  ? Ad Duplex  can only be used for trends  only Microsoft knows the exact number because Ad Duplex  there number come from the  UWP  witch some don't use the store and  universal  apps for Windows 10 .  Last time Microsoft gave out the numbers Ad Duplex was way off.So you have to take what they say with a grain of salt.  But the reason many people have not upgraded to OCT update yet is because Microsoft are not pushing this version like they did  other versions .

 

It really don't matter every version is  supported for  18  months  for everyone .  So they  they could skip  you on live updates  2 upgrades and you would  not have to  force upgrade  tell the 3 one came out . SP  was the same way they gave you so long before they were mandatory .   If it was mandatory or Microsoft was pushing Oct upgrade on people almost everyone would be using  it after  all that's how they got most of there users pushing it on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1users for free . 

 

The difference in other OS like XP and Windows 7 that held the number one desktop ranking before was people paid for it,  so Microsoft earned  great profit from it.  Windows 10 has been a lost for Microsoft  were less than a year away tell   Windows 7 runs out of updates and they barley past Windows 7 and  the bulk  of Windows 10 users got it for free . They cheated  by giving it away and still it took them almost 4 years to pass Windows  7. They couldn't even give it away.
