Windows 10 May 2019 Update has skilled a massive spike in adoption, and has already overtaken the October 2018 Update with a critically speedy rollout, at least in accordance to one set of stats.
These are the monthly figures from AdDuplex, which show that the May 2019 Update has tripled its stage of adoption in August, and is now on 33% of Windows 10 PCs (the stats are derived by adverts run on apps from the Microsoft Store, with a pattern measurement of over 100,000 devices)

How to repair Windows 10 May 2019 Update problems
You might recall that when Microsoft first commenced deploying the May 2019 Update, it took a very cautious approach, even though that used to be rarely stunning given the disastrous previous (October 2018 Update) upgrade. In the first week of its release (the ultimate week in May), the May 2019 Update only observed a domestic on 1.4% of PCs according to AdDuplex.
That expanded to 6.3% in June, and 11.4% closing month in July, so really that’s a constant 5% per month for those first couple of months. However, now the floodgates have evidently opened, as the soar to 33% in August represents an almost 22% increase.
And needless to say the precise news for Microsoft is that even with this tons quicker tempo of deployment, no serious issues have emerged (although some minor niggles have popped up with cumulative updates in recent times).
Smartly divided
Interestingly, the stats for August show that Windows 10 versions are roughly break up into three across the consumer base – with a 1/3 on the May 2019 Update, a 0.33 on the October 2018 Update, and a 1/3 on the April 2018 Update.
Most of the users upgrading to the May 2018 Update come from the April 2018 Update, and are skipping straight over the famously wobbly October 2018 Update.
This is no surprise as Microsoft had previously noted that it is forcing improvements on April 2018 Update users, as they are on an ancient model of Windows 10 for which the end-of-service date is coming closer and closer (November 12).
Of course, we say the upgrade is being pressured on machines, however you can nonetheless extend it by means of up to 35 days (even on Windows 10 Home), but going by means of these cutting-edge figures, it appears most people are now keen to move to the contemporary version of Microsoft’s computer working system.
