Microsoft has announced its decision to remove WordPad, the popular text editor in the Windows system, from the upcoming Windows 11 version. WordPad, which has been used by at least two generations of Windows users, will become an outdated program.
WordPad is a simple text editor that offers basic formatting functions, but it is much more advanced than Notepad. It can be compared to Microsoft 365’s Word program, but with significantly fewer capabilities.
The decision to withdraw WordPad from the standard installation of Windows 11 was announced by Microsoft. Unlike other removed features, WordPad will not be possible to reinstall after the system update.
The Steps Recorder program (psr.exe) will also be removed with Windows 11. Microsoft has suggested alternative tools for creating screenshots, such as Microsoft Clipchamp or Xbox Game Bar.
Although Microsoft does not officially allow for the reinstallation of WordPad and Steps Recorder after the system update, there may be fans and enthusiasts who will try to find ways to use these programs in modern versions of Windows. However, it is recommended to seek alternative solutions as the proposed substitutes do not have all the functions offered by WordPad and Steps Recorder.
