April still on top as Microsoft’s difficult October update slowly trickles onto PCs
With the next release of Windows 10 edging closer, users continue to steer clear of Microsoft’s October 2018 update.
Figures published by ad slinger AdDuplex show that the Update of the Damned, aka the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, has dribbled its way onto 12.4 per cent of Windows 10 PCs sold.
It’s a far cry from the near hysterical rate at which the April 2018 Update was flung out, demonstrating just how cautious the software giant has become after the disastrous debut of Windows 10 build 1809 back in October. Back in the day Microsoft claimed April’s effort saw „higher satisfaction numbers“ and „fewer known issues“ due to its AI boffinry.
Clearly those AI brains rebelled, as Microsoft hurriedly pulled the follow-up, the October 2018 Update, as problems (including a data deletion bug) surfaced.
