Windows has lost about 400 million users in the last few years

According to Microsoft’s vice president, Yusuf Mehdi, the number of Windows-based devices in use each month exceeds one billion. However, journalists have pointed out that the number was much higher a few years ago.

Microsoft’s 2022 report had a different figure: more than 1.4 billion active Windows 10 or 11 devices per month. Members of the media emphasize that such statements by senior company officials carry significant weight. Such statements can have an impact on financial markets, causing fluctuations in stock prices. Therefore, if the number of users was still 1.4 billion or even 1.3 billion, this information would have been made public.

So Microsoft has lost about 400 million active users over the past 3.5 years. The reasons for this decline remain unclear, but one likely cause could be the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a spike in PC sales, but now the PC market is back on a downward trend.
