Despite Microsoft’s push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant’s latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.
This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.
There’s a registry hack for the right click menu. I run it on every new computer that I set up at work, either at setup or when someone calls to complain about it.

Yup! I made the switch a couple years ago personally, but it turns out that corporate device management for Linux is a huge PITA for mediocre functionality.
Oh, yeah, already did it. I was more so speaking to the experience a regular user would get out of the box.
