Windows 11 has gone into reverse gear as user numbers drop – but why?
has slipped with its market share over the last month, at least going by a report from one analytics firm.figures for May, Windows 11 fell to a market share of 22.95% . That’s only a touch lower than April, during which Windows 11 stood at 23.11% – but it’s a real surprise to see Windows 11 effectively stall at this point .rose very slightly to hit 71.9%, and it remains by far the most dominant version of Windows, even though Windows 11 has been around for a year and a half now.
Elsewhere in the stats, Windows 7 remains fairly static on 3.6%, and Windows 8 versions amount to 1.09%.Analysis: Trouble ahead for Microsoft? Now, granted, some of that was due to Windows 7 finishing its extended support period, meaning a bunch of users were then forced to migrate –However, even after Windows 7’s userbase settled at its new lower level , where it’s been for a few months now, Windows 11 has been up by a significant market share over the last two months – about 2% for both March and April in fact.
Why might that be? The irony is that Microsoft announced the end of feature updates for Windows 10 at the close of April, a move that was clearly designed to persuade folks to migrate to Windows 11 . And yet during May, Windows 11 has suddenly floundered compared to the rest of 2023.to the end of feature updates for Windows 10? Perhaps there’s a touch of that here.
