windows 10 usage share hits flat

[jos]

 

Windows 10's usage share, nearly 6.6% on Sunday, dropped to 5.8% Monday, then slipped to 5.7% Wednesday, numbers from StatCounter showed. Week-over-week increases also weakened, falling from healthy gains in both percentage and absolute terms the week before to the lowest since the July 29 rollout of the new operating system.

 

On Tuesday, Windows 10's week-over-week increase fell under 20% for the first time, and its absolute increase in user share slipped under the one-percentage-point bar, also for the first time.

 

Yesterday, for example, Windows 10's user share was 5.7%, or 15% higher than the previous Wednesday. Likewise, the eight-tenths of a percentage point increase between the two was the smallest seen so far in StatCounter's tracking.

 

The fall-off on Monday from Sunday's peak of 6.6% was normal: Consumer-oriented operating systems, as are the vast bulk of those that have been upgraded to Windows 10, typically peak on weekends, then fall when people return to work where they sit in front of an older OS on their office devices.

 

But the flat line shown by Windows 10 this week was a first. For all the outside world knows, Microsoft may have hit the Pause button on upgrades this week.

 

 

 

Hope PC sales will be strong .. What i feel is no one purchased a PC in 3 days...

not u again... that timing, we posting somthing random at the same time again hahaha

[patrick3027]

To be honest if you check the days +12, +13 and +14, it's somewhat similar to the last three days. We'll have to see a plateau for at least 14 days before making any conclusions.

[Rolling Potatoe]

Lolz, what a dodgy graph.

No way win 10 usage is higher than win7 or that win 7 usage is only 2-3%.

Also the graph stagnated and declined before.

You keep saying that. Can you specify what bugs you're talking about?

The reason for decline is specified in the post

None then. Good to know you're just talking shit

[Notional]

Ugh this is Windows XP all over again. People sticking to vastly obsolete OS' for the hell of it. Listen Windows 7 was nice.. in 2010. Just let it go. Even Windows 8.1 has been vstly superior to 7 for over a year.

Windows XP was an absolutely broken mess though, people are now returning to proven operating systems.

Such terrible OS. People on tech forum asking for help with problems. Must be bad. Windows 7 pile of shit.

 

The fact that you couldn't name a single problem yourself without searching a tech forum specifically looking for them tells me that you a) don't know what you're talking about and b) know shit all about statistics and the effect of a biased sample.

win7 is currently stable, win10 is not

Prove it. Having actually used Windows 10 for nearly a month now it's about as stable as Windows 7 ever was.

[Ohlyver]

My windows 10 is running fine and smooth, the only real problems are the drivers

[PlayStation 2]

And that's why I'm sticking with Windows 8.1 (and Windows Server 2008 R2 :^), because Start screen aside, it's relatively free of major bugs.

[Doobeedoo]

Well, I'm sure it will gain significant market share until end of the year. It works great and it needs more polishing like everything else.

[RH00D]

Meh. The time frame is too short to be conclusive of anything. We'll have a better idea at the 6 month, 12 month, and 18 month marks.

You keep saying that. Can you specify what bugs you're talking about?

Just from personal experience: 1) non working start menu and 2) non working edge browser + non working internet explorer.

 

To fix the start menu, I had to reboot after pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL (if you chose 'shut down' instead, the computer would hibernate and restart with the problem).

The edge browser and internet explorer failing happened before I installed Firefox, which meant I had to download the .exe file on a USB stick on another PC and then put in on the W10 computer.

(Both bugs fixed after an update, I have to admit)

 

As a bonus, you're spied on and you're unable to prevent updates.

 

You don't need much more to scare the averager user.

Never used Edge or IE so I don't have experience there. I've never heard of the start menu not working though.

 

The privacy and updates things aren't bugs, though, they're by design.

[VagabondWraith]

The biggest problems I'm having is updates get stuck at "preparing to install updates" which stays there and never installs, getting stuck at 0%. That's on my laptop.

On both my laptop and desktop, the search function doesn't work.

I did the upgrade option on both but am going to do a clean install on my lappy this weekend, which I'm hoping will fix those few issues. Desktop will follow sometime thereafter.

Other than that, windows 10 has been damn smooth for such a new release.

Using Edge as my secondary browser, works fine. Start menu did bug out on me twice. A shutdown fixed it unlike what you said. As you said, problems that are gone already.

 

Can't argue much about the spying, but inability to prevent updates. Does anyone not install all the updates already? Those who have the need to worry about these updates probably would get the Pro version anyways.

Yeah a lot of those problems happen because you are upgrading. Never had none of those problems on my laptop and desktop with clean installs.

Windows 10 has been way better than 7 for me. No issues at all. Love the new features and look, plus a lot more snappy.
