Anniversary Update for Windows 10 is indeed available, but Microsoft officials have already warned that it wouldn’t be immediately available to all consumers simultaneously at launch, rolling out in waves instead. Microsoft ended free upgrades to Windows 10 in late July of this year.
Microsoft, like many other companies over the past few years, jumped on the fitness tracker bandwagon with its Microsoft Band and eventually its sequel, the Microsoft Band 2.
While this is certainly a good thing for feature updates, Microsoft is trying to improve Windows 10 cumulative update testing too and is looking at Windows insiders in this regard. This has allowed Microsoft to deal with compatibility issues Anniversary Update has caused thus far regarding webcams, McAfee software, and so on. However, he added that the company’s phased rollout is clearly aimed at methodically addressing such issues as they are identified.
The new set of screens might seem similar to Windows 10 users as it has nearly the same design as on Windows 10 PCs.
“The vast majority of our customers have a high-quality, positive experience with our updates and our goal is an issue-free experience for everyone”, a Microsoft representative told ZDNet. “We encourage our customers to contact customer support”.

As Foley notes, it sounds like Microsoft is pretty much hinting that there will not be a Band 3. Unlike past iterations of the operating system, future updates to Windows 10 will be rolled out automatically via the cloud, rather than as discrete and separate versions.
