WordPad is one of the few built-in apps not to be updated in Windows 11.

Thus ending our long national nightmare of accidentally opening things in WordPad on a fresh install.

    Doesn’t fresh installs of windows 11 come with shortcuts in the start menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that opens the online versions of the software if you haven’t installed office yet?

      Oh, if that’s the case then it makes perfect sense why Wordpad is being deprecated, and I’m glad Microsoft is keeping things simple and sensible for average basic users. I’ve only ever used a corporate image for W11 so it didn’t have those shortcuts.
