April 2022 Update hits 78 percent of Windows 10 PCs, AdDuplex claims

According to the AdDuplex's latest monthly written report, the Windows 10 April 2022 Update has reached 78.1 percent coverage of all Windows ten PCs the business firm has sampled. The surge continues a pattern that Microsoft has been on for a while, resulting in the Apr 2022 Update becoming the fastest feature update to roll out thus far.

For comparing, the April 2022 Update was at 50 percent coverage in AdDuplex'due south May report. The Fall Creators Update took twice as long to hit that mark afterward its release.

As for other feature updates, the Fall Creators Update now stands at fifteen.vii pct coverage, while the Creators Update is at 2.4 percent. The Anniversary Update, meanwhile, is currently at two.five percent, while Windows 10 versions 1511 and 1507 come in at 0.8 percent and 0.iv percentage, respectively.

The extent of the rollout isn't too surprising; Microsoft confirmed earlier in June that the Apr 2022 Update had reached full availability. The company is besides now more widely applying AI to its rollout process, resulting in a faster rollout than previous releases.

Still, there'southward a disparity between AdDuplex'southward numbers and what Microsoft has confirmed thus far. In announcing the Apr 2022 Update had reached full availability, Microsoft also revealed it had rolled out to more than than 250 million devices, making it the fastest version to do so. Nevertheless, given Windows 10 is sitting at an install base of effectually 700 million devices, that's a far cry from the 78.1 percent coverage in AdDuplex'due south latest report.

The gap likely comes downwardly to how AdDuplex samples data for its reports. The company is dependent on collecting data from effectually 5,000 Windows Store apps running its SDK, which could skew the results based on any number of factors.
