14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft started the Windows 10 Creators Update rollout in April this year, and the company opted for a release in waves, meaning that systems are getting the new version as they are marked as compatible after the common bugs are addressed.
And statistics provided by AdDuplex indicate that no less than 35.7 percent of the Windows 10 PCs out there are already on version 1703 (Creators Update), but the Anniversary Update remains the top version with 58.3 percent.
“Creators Update continues to propagate on PCs worldwide, but at moderate pace. It seems to be in line with how Anniversary Update spread, but we’ve approached the infliction point (2-3 months in) when Anniversary Update went full speed and jumped from 35 percent to over 75 percent in one month,” AdDuplex explains in the new batch of statistics published today.
“Next month we will see if this pace will be repeated with the Creators Update,” the report continues.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
The Creators Update comes with a long list of improvements, including new security features, and this is one of the reasons Microsoft encourages everyone to update as soon as possible. While the automatic update via Windows Update is rolling out in stages, IT pros can install the Creators Update at any moment using the Windows Update Assistant, which lets them skip compatibility checks and ignore any issues that might arise during the process.
While adoption of the Creators Update is improving, Microsoft continues work on the next iteration of Windows, which is called Fall Creators Update.
Already in development with help from Windows insiders, the Fall Creators Update is projected to be finalized in September before the public launch to everyone else in October.
These dates are not confirmed just yet, but Microsoft has pledged to release two different Windows updates every year, in March and September, respectively.
