Windows 11 is now on nearly 20% of PCs, according to AdDuplex
AdDuplex has released its monthly Windows usage report, showing that Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 21H2 are on over 40% of PCs.
AdDuplex has released its Windows usage report for the month of February, giving us some insight into the latest numbers for Windows 11 and other versions of the OS. According to the report, Windows 11 is now on nearly 20% of Windows PCs, a small growth from the 16.1% usage share we saw in January. Those numbers leave Windows 11 in third place in terms of the most used Windows versions, behind Windows 10 versions 21H2 and 21H1.
Windows 10 version 21H2 comes with a single known issue for print servers
Microsoft has released Windows 10 version 21H2 to the general public, but there's a known issue you may want to know about.
Microsoft is rolling out Windows 10 version 21H2 today, and it comes with a handful of features specifically meant for business users. This includes support for new Wi-Fi security standards, new Windows Hello capabilities, and more. However, as with most Windows 10 releases, version 21H2 doesn't come without its known issues.
Windows 10 will get annual feature updates from now on
Alongside Windows 10 version 21H2, Microsoft announced that the OS will be getting annual feature updates beginning next year.
Today, Microsoft announced the availability of Windows 10 version 21H2, also known as the November 2021 Update. It's a minor update that doesn't have any front-facing features for consumers; rather, it's more focused toward IT. Perhaps more interesting is that the Redmond firm announced that moving forward, Windows 10 is going to get yearly updates until its end of support date in October 2025.
Microsoft releases the Windows 10 November 2021 Update
Microsoft is finally releasing its next feature update for Windows 10, called the November 2021 Update. It's a minor feature update.
When Microsoft announced Windows 11 back in June, it did confirm that there would still be a fall feature update for Windows 10. That ended up being called the Windows 10 November 2021 Update, or version 21H2, and the company is releasing it today.
Microsoft releases ISOs for the Windows 10 November 2021 Update
Microsoft announced the Windows 10 November 2021 Update today, offering it to the Release Preview channel and releasing ISOs to Insiders.
While Windows 11 was released earlier this month, it almost flies under the radar that Windows 10 is alive and well. In fact, it's supported for another four years, so as expected, there's a version 21H2 coming for the OS. Thanks to a blog post today, we now know that it will be called the Windows 10 November 2021 Update.
