Microsoft announces that Windows April 2018 Update is on over 250 million machines
At present, the total installed capacity of this version in the world is as high as 2.5 devices. Microsoft claims that its growth rate is more than double that of the autumn creatives update.
Microsoft said that the speed of deployment of the April update is so fast thanks to AI artificial intelligence. Microsoft is relying on artificial intelligence to drive push. For example, when a device does not show any obvious problem after upgrading to a new version, the corresponding log file is automatically submitted to Microsoft’s AI artificial intelligence.
The artificial intelligence system will automatically push the April update to the same device without real-world testing. The deployment speed under AI control is much faster than the previous human intervention. Although Microsoft believes that this AI system has played a significant role in the deployment process, it has to say that the various problems caused to users are also quite numerous.
For example, users who initially used Intel and Toshiba SSDs will make mistakes in upgrading the new version, but these devices do not stop updating until Microsoft intervenes.
At the same time, many users who do not receive the new version are also updated. Even users who have been set only to receive business version branches will be forced to upgrade.
It is estimated that this is one of the reasons why the April update can be deployed so quickly. For users, it is likely to encounter problems that various types of Microsoft have not discovered.
Although Microsoft has released this version for nearly two months, and there are still very many incurable diseases with the release of two rounds of cumulative updates.
Although not all problems will affect the regular use of computers, users who are unwilling to toss or continue to use the old version are better to avoid problems.
At the same time, not all devices of all users will encounter problems. If the upgrade finds problems, it can be rolled back to the old version within ten days without affecting personal files.
After more than ten days, the backup files saved by the system upgrade will be deleted automatically. If you want to restore to the old version, you can only reinstall the system.
