Microsoft's WordPad rich text editor is now among its deprecated apps, which signals a removal in a future update.
Microsoft is saying goodbye to WordPad, its long-supported rich text application, which will no longer receive updates as of September 1.
Recommended Videos WordPad is set to be removed from the Windows OS in a future update, but hasn’t yet reached that point. With Windows 12 expected to be released sometime in 2024, WordPad’s final end-of-life could come at that point. However, Microsoft doesn’t typically get rid of its programs that quickly.
As Microsoft sundowns WordPad, it has also recently announced updates to the Notepad app, which includes autosave and restoring tabs. The plain text editor got its first update in years in 2018 and was then updated again in conjunction with the Windows 11 update, which introduced tabs to its layout, the Verge noted.
