After nearly 30 years, Microsoft removing WordPad from Windows
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft is no longer updating WordPad as it plans to remove the word processor from a future release of Windows. The software giant will instead replace it with Microsoft Word, its paid word processor that has always been far more feature rich than the basic WordPad. The WordPad app has shipped as part of Windows since Windows 95.
“WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows,” reads a support note published by Microsoft on Friday. “We recommend Microsoft Word for rich text documents like .doc and .rtf and Windows Notepad for plain text documents like .txt.”
The news of the removal of WordPad comes just a day after Microsoft revealed its upgrading Notepad with features like autosave and automatic restoral of tabs. Microsoft updated its Windows Notepad app in 2018 for the first time in years and went on to add tabs to the Windows 11 version.
WordPad was last updated with Windows 7’s Ribbon UI, but after a slight Windows 8 redesign, it hasn’t had any major additions.
Microsoft will now remove WordPad entirely in a “future release of Windows,” which will most likely be the Windows 12 version we’re expecting to see in 2024 with plenty of AI-powered features.
