Windows 10 October 2018 Update, which was initially pulled down after a number of bugs were discovered, has emerged as the least successful Windows 10 update. The adoption of the October 2018 Update that was released as the version 1809 back in October last year is significantly lower than that of the April 2018 Update (version 1803). The April 2018 update continues to lead the Windows 10 family globally, according to a report. Earlier this month, Microsoft started rolling out the October update automatically to all users in phases to increase the adoption. It, however, appears that the new version wasn't able to reach the adoption rate of the previous April update. The first final version of Windows 10 was released back in 2015 and the operating system has since received seven major updates.
Out of more than 100,000 PCs surveyed, only 12.4 percent run the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, AdDuplex said in its report for the month of January. This is unlike the April 2018 Update that retains its leadership with 80.2 percent. Having said that, the adoption of the October update is almost double from the 5.7 percent share reported last month.
