The following overview is by Microsoft employee Matt Miller, who works in the Microsoft security team. He posted the following on Twitter.

Only about 40% of the 0-day exploits can work in the current version of Windows, since 66% of the vulnerabilities have already been considered. With Windows 10 this always refers to the last build like e.g. version 1903. Well, statistics is not very helpful in case of a problem.
