After a 30-year run, Microsoft WordPad is being put out to pasture in favor of newer software. Microsoft says there is no need to worry, however, as it offers two options to take its place.
As Microsoft has updated its Windows OS through the years, certain features and functionality have been deprecated or simply fallen to the wayside in favor of newer or different options. Most recently, users switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11 saw a number of changes to their user experience, such as Cortana no longer being included in the first boot experience or even pinned to the Taskbar. Now, the tech giant has given Microsoft WordPad a pink slip.
Microsoft says that WordPad will no longer receive updates and will eventually be removed from future releases of Windows altogether.
