14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently released Windows 10 October 2020 Update, or version 20H2, and this particular update seems to be gaining ground quite fast, according to new data.
AdDuplex claims Windows 10 October 2020 Update is already running on 8.8 percent of the Windows 10 devices out there, which makes it the third most-used version of the operating system currently out there.
Windows 10 May 2020 Update continues to be the leading version out there with a share of 37.6 percent, while the runner-up is the November 2019 Update with 36.4 percent.
The Windows Insider program is also running well, with 0.3 percent of all devices currently on preview builds that are shipped as part of the Dev, Beta, and Release Preview channels.
What’s next for Windows 10?
With version 20H2 already live, Microsoft can now focus on what’s next for Windows 10, and according to sources familiar with the company’s plans, there’ll be lots of surprises next year.
First and foremost, we should expect two feature updates, just like before, only that their release dates will be inverted.
In other words, the big update that typically lands in the spring is now expected to go live in the fall, while the small service pack-like release due in October or November will now launch in the first part of the year.
So the next Windows 10 feature update coming to users in the spring will also be a minor release with the focus on under the hood improvements and less on new features.
Microsoft is yet to confirm this timing, but the dates certainly make sense, especially because the spring is expected to also bring us the new Windows 10X. At first, this OS version will just run on single-screen devices, with the company to then bring it to dual-screen models when this form factor is ready,
