Windows 11 Market Share is on the decline as Humans Are Sticking with Windows 10 Over the last month, Windows 11’s percentage fell by 0.5% from 43.72% to 43.22%. Windows 10, however, grew a bit ...

The survey of more than 10 million Microsoft devices by Lansweeper’s PC management software showed 1.44% now run Windows 11, an increase from the 0.52% of PCs that ran the OS in January.

Statcounter just produced its report for May 2025 (hat tip to Neowin) which shows that Windows 11 has dropped to 43.22%, after hitting 43.72% in April, representing a slide of 0.5%.

For example, in January Microsoft reported that the adoption rate for Windows 11 was twice the rate of Windows 10. However, new figures suggest Windows 11's adoption rate is slowing to a crawl.

According to recent data from Statcounter, Windows 11 reached an all-time high market share of 35.55 percent in October 2024 – an increase of 2.13 percentage points from the previous month.

"Since the Windows 11 refresh has ramped slower than previous industry transitions, we expect to see the impact of the upgrade to be more pronounced in 2025," HP CEO Enrique Lores said.
