Microsoft has chosen to discontinue support for WordPad, the decades-old text editor in Windows. WordPad has existed since Windows 95.
Discontinue WordPad
The corporation, according to reports, will no longer update the programme. It will then be removed from a subsequent version of Windows.
“WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows,” according to a Microsoft support notice.
“We recommend Microsoft Word for rich text documents like.doc and.rtf, and Windows Notepad for plain text files like.txt.”
The support note did not explain why the software will be removed.
The elimination was announced shortly after Microsoft Notepad was updated with autosave and automated tab restoral. WordPad first appeared in Windows 95 and was last updated in Windows 8.
