The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is set to begin its rollout in a matter of weeks, yet over a quarter (27.5 percent) of Windows 10 users still haven’t received the Creators Update.
According to the latest figures from AdDuplex, while the Creators Update found its way on to another 7.5 percent of computers this month to give it a 72.5 percent share, it’s still well short of the 91.2 percent that the Anniversary Update reached before the Creators Update was released. AdDuplex warns that as a result of slow rollouts like this, fragmentation will only increase in the future.

A week ago, Microsoft proudly announced that the Creators Update is much more reliable than the Anniversary Update, with a "39 percent total reduction in operating system and driver stability issues" and the number of support calls diminishing "significantly." But as I pointed out at the time, a large portion of that improvement can be attributed to the fact that many Windows 10 users simply don't have it.
And this is the point where I remind you that the Fall Creators Update, a.k.a. version 1709, is launching a full month late. With over a full month of extra time in which they were rolling out the Creators Update, they're still nowhere near where they should be, or need to be.
Can someone remind me again why Windows-As-A-Service was supposed to be such a great way to receive Microsoft Windows from the Gods of OS? Because I don't see it.
