Windows 11's growth slowed down in May 2025


Last month was not too kind to Windows 11. The operating system reportedly slowed down its global growth.

Statcounter reports that the system's global market share dropped from 47.32% to 43.23% in one month. In its home country, the United States, Windows 11 is the most popular version, but in May 2025, it lost a notable chunk of users, going down from 56.36% to 52.94%. The aging operating system will stick around for a while, with Microsoft and third-party companies offering additional update solutions for those who are not ready to move on.
