According to new information, Microsoft Windows 11 operating system’s meteoric rise in recent months is starting to decelerate.
According to the most recent AdDuplex data, Windows 11 user counts are leveling out, implying that Microsoft has to step up its efforts with some fresh improvements or enhancements to the platform shortly.
For the month of March this year, Windows 11 grabbed just 0.1 percent of market share from previous editions of Microsoft’s software, contributing 19.4 percent of total use, with 0.6 percent utilizing a Windows 11 Insider build.
The figures reveal that, despite Microsoft’s campaign to convince customers to switch to Windows 11, the prior edition is still popular with many customers.
The majority of the 80 percent of Windows 10 users were discovered to be utilizing the two most recent upgrade families. Windows 10 N21U (21H2), which was launched in November last year, has 28.5 percent of the entire market, whereas its somewhat older brother, Windows 10 M21U (21H1), which was introduced in March last year, had 26.5 percent.
The remainder 25 percent consisted of different earlier releases dating all the way back to 2018, showing that Microsoft which is known for products like Microsoft Teams still has some effort to do to get a large number of customers updated to its most recent editions.
AdDuplex’s results are based on 5,000 Windows Store applications, so they may not be exactly reflective of the real market share, but they seem to verify recent Microsoft discoveries.
Microsoft that is known for products like Office 365, recently said that 1.4 billion devices are operating both Windows 10 and Windows 11, however, no precise figures for any build were provided.
This has caused issues for certain business customers, since a recent study discovered that up to one-third of professional laptops or PCs do not match the basic requirements to run Windows 11, with the absence of TPM 2.0 being the major factor.
According to the Riverbed research, 19.45 percent of devices will require a storage update, 11 percent will require a TPM 2.0 update, and 8 percent will require a UEFI update, with 12 percent of business PCs requiring a complete replacement.
