Windows 11 struggles to reach 20% share

This is the latest AdDuplex report for April 2022; data collected from approximately 5,000 Microsoft Store apps shows that Windows 11 is struggling to gain more users. This month, the operating system grew by just under 0.4, and it now holds approximately 19.7% of the market (up from 19.4% in March 2022).

On the other hand, Windows 10 21H2 continues to gain market share. In April 2022, the latest Windows 10 version gained an impressive 6.5 percentage points. It is the most popular Windows version with a market share of about 35% (28.5% in March 2022). Windows 10 21H1 remains relatively unchanged at 26.5% (-0.1% points).

Windows 10 20H2 is rapidly approaching its life cycle, which means users are leaving the operating system to get updated versions. On May 10, 2022, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 20H2, so the company is forcing its users to update to Windows 10 21H2, which is now widely available. In April 2022, Windows 10 20H2 increased from 10.8% to 6.1%.

The following is the breakdown of the Windows market according to AdDuplex:

1. Windows 10 21H2 - 35% (6.5)
2. Windows 10 21H1 - 26.4% (-0.1 )
3. Windows 11 - 19.7% (0.3)
4. Other Windows versions - 18.1% (-6.9)
5. Windows Insider - 0.7% (0.1)

As usual, it’s worth noting that only Microsoft can provide accurate statistics about Windows 11 and 10. Unfortunately, the company declined to provide details on market segmentation, meaning developers and customers need to rely on third-party analysis from companies like AdDuplex, Statcounter, and others.
