The old stuff is more stable. 🚨
A recent report from StatCounter indicates that Windows 10 is starting to regain market share. Although many have previously started gradually moving to Windows 11 to make it up as Microsoft's primary operating system, data in recent months has revealed that the trend may not be clearly moving in that direction.
.
According to the global desktop version of the Windows market share chart, Windows 10 has continued to increase in proportion, while Windows 11 has declined markedly by the end of 2025, with the figures being as follows:
.
- In October 2025, Windows 11 was 55.18%, Windows 10 was 41.71%.
- November Windows 11 fell to 53.7%, while Windows 10 edged up to 42.7%.
- and in December, Windows 11 fell to around 50.7%, while Windows 10 rose to about 44.6%.
.
In addition, Windows 7 has also moved up slightly, standing at around 3.9% in December.
.
StatCounter does not directly explain why market share is changing, nor is it an official report from Microsoft.
.
The key factors that make Windows 10 still popular may come from many users not ready to upgrade to Windows 11, both in hardware compatibility, strict system requirements such as TPM 2.0, as well as familiarity with Windows 10 that still address usability problems.
.
On the other hand, the negative flow of news about Windows 11 in the latter, whether it be bug problems from multiple updates, or pushing AI features that some see as unnecessary, could cause a small number of users to choose to delay the system move out first.
.
Although Windows 10 has already run out of the official support phase since October 14, 2025 (except for those in the Extended Security Updates or ESU program), the latest market share figures also reflect that many users still choose to "stay with the same" rather than move to Windows 11 now.
