Windows 10: AdDuplex report claims the April 2018 Update is now on 90% of Windows 10 PCs

WinLatest · Sep 27, 2018

AdDuplex’s latest report has revealed that Windows 10 April 2018 Update is now on 90% of Windows 10 PCs. What’s more important to know is that the report is based on a data collected from around 5,000 Microsoft Store apps running AdDuplex SDK v.2 (and higher).

Microsoft rolled out the Windows 10 April 2018 Update in late April this year, and it looks like adoption is improving at a very fast pace. It’s not an official data from Microsoft and there’s a chance that the users who use AdDuplex-powered Windows Store apps are tech savvy but still, the growth chart is pretty much interesting.

The A18U added almost 3% to its share over the month and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is on the second position with market share of 5.7%. According to AdDuplex, Windows 10 CU (1703) is on 1.7% PCs and Windows 10 AU (1607) still powers 1.8% of the devices.

Again, AdDuplex’s numbers only represent the devices that are running apps with AdDuplex ads and SDK so it’s not a complete market share of the ecosystem.

Next month Windows 10 October 2018 Update will begin rolling out and users will upgrade to this version of Microsoft’s OS from older versions. That means we’ll see a change in the mix next month and the market share of A18U will start dropping.

Surface Pro (2017) is now the second most popular and Surface Pro 4 holds the first position and Surface Go has doubled its share since last month, according to AdDuplex.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update is arriving next week

The work on Microsoft’s next big release to its desktop has completed and we’re expecting the update to arrive next week.

The shreds of evidence that we discovered recently suggest that the next feature update called ‘October 2018 Update’ will arrive as early as next week.

Microsoft has already completed the development of Windows 10 October 2018 Update and the Build 17763 has been signed off as the RTM candidate.

After rolling out the Windows 10 version 1809 to the general consumers, Microsoft will start working on Windows 10 19H1 which is expected to arrive in the first half of 2019, presumingly April.

Windows 10 19H1 is likely to bring the highly anticipated Sets interface to all apps and tools including the File Explorer.

AdDuplex report for May 2018 on Windows 10 April 2018 Update

Windows 10 PC OS Versions Worldwide

April 2018 Update managed to reach 50% of Windows 10 PCs in just one month.

Windows 10 PC OS Version History

With 50% market share in just one month 1803 (aka April 2018 Update) is the fastest spreading Windows 10 update by far. It took Fall Creators Update twice as long to cross the 50% line, and Creators Update was under 50% for about 3 months.

Note: we don't have the data for the initial rollout of the first update to Windows 10 (1511, also known as Threshold 2). So it's a straight line from 0 to the first data point we have on August 22nd, 2016.

April 2018 Update by OEM

1803 share by OEM varies quite heavily. MSI, Microsoft, and Dell (as usual) are leading the way, while Acer and Toshiba are notably behind the global average.

1803 by Surface Model

Newer Surface models are beating the global average, when it comes to April 2018, while older ones are lagging behind.

Surface Laptop is a notable exception with only 37.3%. Another thing to note, in previous releases, Surface Pro 3 was often behind the other Surface Pro models but in this case, it is leading the pack.

Note: we've omitted Surface Studio in this report as total numbers are just too small for any meaningful interpretation.

AdDuplex Windows 10 Report for June 2018

This month we review the progress Windows 10 April 2018 Update made in the last month and take a look at the global PC manufacturer lineup for computers running Windows 10.

Windows 10 OS Worldwide

April 2018 Update continues its speedy march through the PC world and is now on 3/4 of all PCs running Windows 10 according to our data.

Windows 10 OS Worldwide History

The almost vertical growth line for the A18U update is unprecedented in Windows 10 history. Will it reach almost every eligible PC next month?

Note: we don't have the data for the initial rollout of the first update to Windows 10 (1511, also known as Threshold 2). So it's a straight line from 0 to the first data point we have on August 22nd, 2016.

Windows 10 OEMs Worldwide

The list of top-10 PC vendors remains almost unchanged since the last time we looked at it in March. The leaders (HP and Dell) have gained a little market share while some others in the top-10 have lost a bit. MSI and Samsung have swapped places at #8 and #9 respectively.

Note: We made a solid attempt at combining variations of reported OEM name for top brands but at the long tail some brand variations may be reported as separate line items.

AdDuplex Windows 10 Report for July 2018

As usual, we look at the Windows version update progress and take a snapshot of the Surface family of devices right before Surface Go enters the market.

Windows 10 OS Worldwide

As April 2018 Update has reached 3/4 of all PCs running Windows 10 last month, it was clear that the growth can only slow down. While that definitely happened, A18U still gained more than 6%.

Windows 10 OS Worldwide History

As most of the eligible PCs are already running A18U, it's no surprise that the growth chart is no longer as steep as it was in the previous two months.

Note: we don't have the data for the initial rollout of the first update to Windows 10 (1511, also known as Threshold 2). So it's a straight line from 0 to the first data point we have on August 22nd, 2016.

Surface Family

The latest Surface Pro continues to gain momentum and has grown by about 4.7% since the last time we checked. It will be interesting to see if Surface Go manages to make a serious dent in this chart in the upcoming months.
