Despite the fact that Microsoft discontinued the deployment
Without a doubt it has been one of the fiascos of the year. Windows 10 October 2018 Update has managed to make even worse what the American company already achieved with the update released in spring. That one presented some problems, which have been left as small as possible if we compare them with those that the update launched in the recently completed month of October. "
The update has been as ephemeral as the leaves of some trees since the American company, seeing the failures it suffered, decided to withdraw it From the market.We have already seen the errors that it caused: files that are lost in the My Documents folder, problems with the _drivers_ of the sound card or with those of the keyboard. The question that remained in the air was knowing how many users it had reached despite Microsoft&39;s attempts to stop the deployment of its creature."
And we already know it thanks to the study carried out by AdDuplex, which has published the figures of the computers that have updated to Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Estimates are that the number of computers that have updated to Windows 10 October 2018 Update is close to 2.3% of the total number of computers with Windows 10, which would be about 16 million of the total than 700 million Windows 10 PCs running on its circuits.
A study that leads us to assess two circumstances that speak positively but also somewhat negatively of the behavior of the American company when it's about launching updates.
On the one hand, the excellent update system that Microsoft has and no, we're not talking about their quality, but of the facility so that these reach the computers with the Windows Update utility. Despite the fact that it was withdrawn, it has been implanted in millions of computers.
On the other hand, despite having an option such as the Insider Program to debug bugs before launching the final version, we must negatively assess Updates with major errors continue to be released on the market A fact that motivated the company to announce that they are working to improve the process and all the compilations released in the Slow Ring have been arriving for a few weeks after having studied the comments made by the users of the Insider Program in the Fast Ring.
From the study carried out, it can be deduced that Windows 10 in version 1803 is the update that is found on even more computers representing the 88.3% of the total. At a stark distance, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is now only on 4.6% of computers, figures that drop more in other versions of Windows.
And if we combine both we arrive at the final idea: It is very easy for an update, even if it is defective, to reach millions of computers .
Meanwhile in Redmond they are working to cover up all bugs and re-release the update for all users, outside the Insider Program and This time yes, with all the errors corrected. _In your case, were you one of those who updated in the first wave? What has been your experience so far?_
