Microsoft announced that it will no longer support the word processor, Wordpad. The Washington-based company is set to remove this tool for future Windows releases.

As an alternative, Windows will recommend its other processor Microsoft Word for rich texts and NotePad for plain text files. Notably, Wordpad was first available in 1995, for Windows 95, which means it is one of the oldest features in Microsoft Windows. About the news, a Microsoft note released on Friday, September 1, affirmed:

“WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. We recommend Microsoft Word for rich text documents like .doc and .rtf and Windows Notepad for plain text documents like .txt.”

Moreover, Wordpad has not been given the same updating as other Microsoft processors. The tool was adjusted for Windows 7 and had a little redesign on Windows 8. Since then, it has not had any major improvements or changes throughout the years.

In contrast, other tools such as Notepad were modified with autosaving and automatic tabs restoral in 2018. After this, it added the tabs feature in Windows 11.

WordPad will be definitely removed from Windows for a “future release.” This probably means that the word processor will not be available for Windows 12, which is the next version the company should be introducing next year.

It does not come as a surprise, since Wordpad might come as outdated, considering that most tech companies have already jumped on the artificial intelligence trend. Therefore, it is not impressive to learn about Wordpad’s removal.
