Windows 11 saw its market share fall in March, according to the latest figures from analytics firm Statcounter. It turned out that Microsoft failed to attract users for Windows 11 despite its artificial intelligence move. So which is the most used Windows version?
Which version of Windows is the most used?
Windows 11 reached its peak in January with a market share of 28.18 percent; In March, it decreased to 26.72 percent. This shows that although Microsoft has increased its efforts to encourage users to Windows 11, the operating system has not reached more users.
On the other hand, Windows 10 recovered in March and increased its market share by 1.81 points. Addressing 69 percent of the market, Windows 10 was the leader by far in this context. However, it is necessary to remind that the operating system will be removed from official support in October next year.

The March 2024 security update released by Samsung has now been released with many security fixes to two entry-level models.
The data also revealed that outdated and unsupported versions of Windows still hold a significant portion of the market. While Windows 7 has a 3 percent share, Windows 8.1 and 8 have a user base of 0.74 percent. Even Windows XP, which lost browser support years ago, is on the list with 0.39 percent.
- Windows 10: 69.04 percent
- Windows 11: 26.72 percent
- Windows 7: 3.04 percent
- Windows 8.1: 0.44 percent
- Windows XP: 0.39 percent
As the deadline for Windows 10 support approaches, Microsoft is expected to increase its efforts for Windows 11. It seems possible that the usage rates of the newest operating system will increase in the coming months.
