The explosive growth of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system in recent months is beginning to slow, new figures suggest.
The latest report of AdDuplex shows that the number of Windows 11 users is leveling off, perhaps indicating that Microsoft needs to up the ante with some new updates to the platform, and soon.
In the month of March 2022, Windows 11 took just 0.1% of the market share of other editions of Microsoft software, with 19.4% of overall use, and another 0.6% used a build Windows 11 Insider.

The figures show that despite Microsoft’s push for users to upgrade to Windows 11, its previous edition is still good for many consumers.
Of the 80% using Windows 10, the majority turned out to be using the two most recent update families. Windows 10 N21U (21H2), released in November 2021, had 28.5% of the global market, and its slightly bigger brother Windows 10 M21U (21H1), released in March 2021, had 26.5% of the market. the fee.
The remaining 25% is made up of various older builds dating back to 2018, indicating that Microsoft still has some work to do to get a large number of users to update to its latest editions.
AdDuplex draws its figures from 5,000 apps from the Windows Store, so it may not be entirely representative of true market share, but the figures seem to corroborate recent data from Microsoft itself.
