About four weeks ago, Microsoft began rolling out the first of two major feature updates planned for Windows 10 this year, and according to data collected by AdDuplex, Windows 10 users who applied (or were able to apply) the May 2020 update users were about 7 out of 100.

This figure is based on data from about 5,000 Windows Store apps, which equates to about 150,000 Windows 10 PCs. As such, it is likely to be about the same as the actual number, which Microsoft has not released, but it is not exactly all-inclusive. Also, this is as of June 29, 2020 (two days ago).

Interestingly, the previous version of Windows 10 (build 1909) is not the most widely used. Here's the breakdown:

"As has been the case in previous cycles, the most widely used version of Windows 10 is neither the latest nor the one before it. Right now it is the May 2019 Update, which at this point is two cycles behind the current release," says AdDuplex.

One of the reasons many people have not yet applied the latest feature updates is availability, or lack thereof. Instead of opening its doors, Microsoft is pushing out updates in waves. This is a sensible approach, since such major updates inevitably break things; as applied to the May 2020 update, Microsoft has trouble with enabling variable refresh rates on integrated Intel GPUs, audio bugs, Thunderbolt dock quirks, and several other known issues are being investigated.

If your PC does not yet show the May 2020 update as an option, you can either wait and see, or if you are so inclined (and lucky) you can download it manually. Just to be safe, back up your important files first.
