Microsoft announced their leveraging of artificial intelligence (AI) at scale to greatly improve the quality and reliability of the Windows 10 April 2018 Update rollout, which as a first time marks the fastest transition from consumer-only to enterprise-ready edition of the software.

The update quality and reliability was as a result of the AI inputs, and Microsoft will expand the release to make the April 2018 Update (version 1803) available for all compatible devices running Windows 10 worldwide.

Microsoft's AI approach selects devices intelligently that its feedback data indicate would make a great update experience and offers the April 2018 Update to those devices first.

With the AI model, feedback and telemetry data, the company is able to quickly adjust and prevent devices that are not currently suitable from being offered the update until they've been sorted out. And if the issues are resolved, it then proceeds with the update, which allows for throttling the update rollout to customers without needing them to take any action.

The April 2018 Update, in fact is officially the fastest version of Windows 10 to reach 250 million devices, and reaching the mark in less than half the time it took the Fall Creators Update.

While the 45-day interval between the launch and the declaration was the shortest for Windows 10, with the pronouncement of corporate suitability breaking the previous record, set by the 1709 upgrade of 86 days after its October 2017 debut.

Microsoft is harping on the ability to safely rollout an updated version of Windows 10 at massive scale and velocity leveraging AI to ensure the broadest number of customer devices have the latest security, technology and features in the shortest period as well.
