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.

Edge is fairly popular, your assessment is without merit there. Id trust it over chrome and the scum at brave but under chromium, Vivaldi, Firefox.

Even if a tpm chip is just a deadbolt on your door, it's better than nothing and will keep your stuff safe from 99% of attackers. Yes the nsa well get through but they were gonna anyway. Your curious friend or random criminal aren't gonna get through. It's a deadbolt. I like having a deadbolt. It won't keep me actually safe but it will still stop 99% of people. You can let the perfect be the enemy of the good if you'd like, but until my Asus has a titan chip I'm gonna do what I can.

I don't understand your last comment, Microsoft does provide a full iso and if you use Rufus to burn to a USB drive it works fine bootloader and all. No need to even try to use their hot garbage media creator tool, which sucks.
