Windows 10 version 1709, the Fall Creators Update, is now installed on more than 90 percent of Windows 10 machines, according to the latest numbers from AdDuplex.
This high uptake comes just in time for the next big update, the still as-yet-unnamed version 1803. The most recent insider builds have shipped with no known major issues and have also removed the version label from the desktop: these are indications that Microsoft regards development of the update to be essentially finished and is preparing for a wider release. There are reports that build 17133, released yesterday, is in fact going to be the RTM (release to manufacturing) release.
In the Windows-as-a-Service world, Microsoft says that, officially, there’s no such thing as an RTM release; nonetheless, there’s still a Windows 10 build that’s deemed to be good enough for the stable release branch and made available to OEMs for preinstallation. While it may not be called RTM any more, it functions in much the same way.
