'Windows 11 growth hits bottleneck: stalling in March 2022'

Adduplex released its March 2022 report today, revealing the latest data on Windows market share. The company claims that Windows 11 will struggle to gain more users in March 2022, with its market share remaining relatively unchanged.

Windows 11 currently has 19.4% market share, growing just 0.01x through March 2022, according to Adduplex. Unlike stable releases, the number of Windows Insiders has doubled from 0.3% to 0.6%. A wealth of new features and experimental changes, such as tabbed UI in File Explorer, may be the reason more users are willing to try out early Windows 11 builds. Additionally, the first Windows 11 feature updates are now available in the Beta channel, which is generally more stable than Dev.

Windows 10 21H2 is the latest version of the previous Windows version and is still going strong. Additionally, operating systems jumped from 21% to an impressive 28.5%. Windows 10 21H1 dropped from 27.5% to 26.5%. Both versions are still supported, so you shouldn't expect Windows 10 21H2 and 21H1 to lose any ground in the coming months unless Microsoft does the unthinkable and starts forcing users to update to Windows 11.

Here are the most popular Windows versions in the Adduplex survey results:

1. Windows 10 21H2 (Updated November 2021): 28.5%
2. Windows 10 21H1 (Updated May 2021): 26.5%
3. Windows 10 2004 (updated May 2020, now unsupported): 8.1%
4. Overall, approximately 80% of computers surveyed were running Windows 10. Considering Windows 11 is still an optional update with relatively high hardware requirements, there's no reason to expect major changes anytime soon.
5. Microsoft doesn’t provide official statistics on how Windows 11 and 10 are performing in the market, which means you shouldn’t rely on Adduplex’s information to be 100% accurate. The company prepares its report using data collected from approximately 5,000 applications that use the Adduplex SDK, so the margin of error is relatively high.
