Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 yearsMicrosoft announced today that it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it's no longer under active development, though the company did not specify the precise timing of this change.WordPad is a basic text-editing application that allows users to create and edit documents with formatted text and include images and links to other files.It is automatically installed on Windows systems starting in 1995 since Windows 95 was released, providing users with a basic word processor and document editor integrated into the operating system.The company now suggests the Microsoft Word app as a replacement for WordPad users and Notepad for those who don't need rich text support.Five years ago, Microsoft also announced that the classic Windows Paint application would be deprecated and removed with the release of the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update in July 2017.However, following an outpour of love for the app, Redmond decided not to completely kill it, instead making it available through the Microsoft Store.The company also officially began killing off the Cortana voice-based assistant in Windows 11 Canary preview builds released in early August 2023.The app's spot as a Windows digital assistant has already been filled by the AI-powered Windows Copilot unveiled during this year's Build conference.
