It wasn\u2019t all that long ago that Windows 10 had been installed to less than half as many devices<\/a>, but now Microsoft is reporting, via the Windows Blog<\/a>, that the era of Windows 10 is in full swing, having reached more than 110 million devices with their latest operating system.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn just a few short months, it\u2019s been incredible to see more than 110 million devices already running Windows 10,<\/em>\u201d said Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s Executive Vice President of the Windows and Devices Group.<\/p>\n

That means that in spite of the issues that have surfaced since Windows 10\u2019s release, like indubitable automatic updates, numerous privacy concerns and a few compatibility issues here and there, Microsoft\u2019s free-for-all approach has been a runaway success.<\/p>\n

And the scary thing is that this is only the beginning, with Microsoft planning for a relatively long lifetime for its OS<\/a> \u2013 and the Xbox One is about to receive a Windows 10 update of its own, though we can\u2019t wait for that given the performance<\/a> and functionality<\/a> improvements its promising.<\/p>\n

Throw in the fact that DirectX 12 is a Windows 10-only API and you\u2019ve got a lot more Windows 10-powered devices in the near future. After all, Microsoft is hoping to reach more than a billion devices by the end of it all.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to the OS and would like to disable those pesky automatic updates, we\u2019d suggest you check out this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
