The latest AdDuplex report indicates that the April 2018 Update has made its way to over 84 percent of all PCs running Windows 10 out in the world.
“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,” the latest AdDuplex report notes. “While that definitely happened, [this update] still gained more than 6 percent [usage share in the past month].”
