While Windows 11 continues to lose users, Windows 10 is back at nearly 70% of the market.

Two years and seven months ago we attended the presentation of Windows 11. The product that was presented as most advanced operating system from the history of Microsoft, invited us to dive into a new visual identity that came with a host of new features and capabilities.

However, the new features of Windows 11 do not seem powerful enough to attract users. It’s May 2024, and the legendary Windows 10 continues to lead the desktop operating system market from the Redmond company. Let’s see what happens.

Windows 11 is losing market share again

Something is happening with Microsoft’s latest operating system. Windows 11 doesn’t grow, at least according to Statcounter. The statistics firm notes that Windows 11 closed in February 2024 with a market share of 28.16%, in March with 26.68% and in April last year with 26.18%.

This means that the price of Windows 11 has fallen by 1.98 percentage points over the past three months. In contrast, Windows 10 has grown over the past three months. The operating system, launched in July 2015, had a market share of 67.26% in February this year, 69.07% in March and 69.89% in April last year.

As we can see, the operating system released almost ten years ago continues to dominate the market. The slow adoption of Windows 11 may be due to the fact that the system came with high requirements hardware, including the exclusive requirement to have TPM 2.0 modules, as well as compatibility issues.

Windows 10 has proven to be a very stable and reliable operating system, but it should be noted that its days are numbered. Microsoft will stop supporting it in October 2025. This means that the system will no longer receive improvements and security updates unless you pay, of course.
