Microsoft uses machine learning technology to force more devices to upgrade to Windows 10 20H2 version

The statistic shows that the Windows 10 20H2 version has been released for a long time, but the market share is very low. There are many reasons, but it is more likely that Microsoft is not actively pushing this version to the user. This version is not a major update, so there are no new features, so Microsoft is a little slow in pushing.

But over time, it seems that Microsoft is definitely going to push Windows 10 20H2 version on a large scale, so Microsoft will use machine learning technology to force more devices to upgrade to the new version in the future.

At this time, Microsoft decided to carry out a large-scale push. In fact, the main reason was that the old version was about to expire, so it is necessary for Microsoft to help users upgrade at this time.

Windows 10 v1903 has stopped service, Windows 10 v1909 version will stop service soon, Windows 10 v2004 version will stop service in the fall.

And now the 21H1 version is still being tested and has not yet been released, so Microsoft can only push the 20H2 version for transition, and the stability of this version is now gradually improving.

Therefore, all the old versions will theoretically receive the new version, and Microsoft will put the old version in the priority push list to prevent users from being unable to receive security updates.

In its blog, Microsoft emphasized the use of machine learning technology in this large-scale push. That is, Microsoft will first push the new Windows 10 version to some devices and then collect telemetry data. If there are no problems with the upgraded devices, it will push to the same device or hardware combination in batches.

This can reduce as much as possible the probability of problems after some devices are upgraded. Of course, some devices do have compatibility issues and will not receive push notifications.
