As of now, AI tools like Copilot and GPT haven't become essential for
people using Windows 11 and Edge. In fact, the expectation is that fewer people
will use them in 2024.
Recently, statistics have shown that both Windows 11 and Edge browser
have seen a drop in the number of people using them over the last couple of
months. This decline has brought their popularity back to where it was before
new AI tools were introduced to help users. Microsoft hoped that adding an AI
helper, Copilot, into Windows 11 and Edge would make more people want to use
them. However, this hasn't happened as they thought it would. It seems like the
excitement around AI isn't enough to convince people to switch over.
Looking at the latest numbers, Windows 11's user numbers went down by
1.46%, making up only 26.72% of all Windows users. On the other side, Windows
10's usage went up by about 2%, reaching a 69.07% share.
This means Windows 10 is still the preferred choice for nearly 70% of
desktop users, with roughly three times as many users as Windows 11.
The Steam Survey, which randomly evaluates what kind of hardware its
users have, supports the following point: for two months in a row, fewer people
are using Windows 11, but more are using Windows 10. Last month, the decline
was 0.35%.
Despite Microsoft putting a lot of effort and resources into adding
Copilot to Windows 11 and Edge, this hasn't led to more people using it.
