Seems like a lot of messing about, would've been better to maintain #Wordpad in the interim.
Here's the story on why #Microsoft discontinued #WordPad after 30 years.

WordPad from Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.6036).
I keep hearing people talking about #Microsoft killing off #WordPad. I have to be honest, #WordPad is an application I haven't thought about since trying to use it on #Windows98 SE back in 2003, and hating it.
Wow. I almost had a meltdown. I went to open #WordPad (which I write in because it's so simple it's not distracting) and it wasn't there! But luckily I managed to hunt it down on the interwebs, but wtf @microsoft.com why get rid of WordPad of all things? WHAT HAS IT DONE TO YOU??
For all of you desktop Windows folks still yearning for a simple, fast, lightweight writing editor (like the old WordPad) I have been working on updating another developer's public project on gitHub...

Doesn't surprise me, but why couldn't #Microsoft just go on developing #Wordpad?
Una cosa utile e comoda, pratica e versatile, UNA dico, e che fanno? La fanno sparire! Ma porc...

#TIL that #WordPad is being discontinued. MS is recommending that my fellow WordPadians migrate to Word, despite its absolute lack of pad. I realize the date, but this is actually real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPad #software
Big mistake on #Microsoft's behalf to ditch #WordPad in Windows 11 when people can't afford Microsoft! 🤦🏽♂️
Gotta vent: The new #WindowsUpdate removed #WordPad from my laptop. It's my go-to writing software for anything I don't want to use Scrivener for and I am DEEPLY annoyed. I downloaded and reinstalled it immediately but this did not spark joy. Rude, Windows. Very rude.
Annoyed that #Wordpad is missing from #Windows11? Well, thankfully you can find the Wordpad files and "add" them back into Windows 11.
Easiest way is to grab them from either another computer that has Windows 10 *or* an older build of Windows 11 (earlier than 24H2). You can find them in:
If you updated from Windows 10 to 11 and you need Wordpad for RTF files, just look for the Windows.old folder in the drive root directory, and inside this, there is a folder Accessories containing Wordpad. #windows #wordpad
Auch nicht schlecht. Nach dem letzten #Windows-Uptdate für Windows 11 war #WordPad weg und musste neu heruntergeladen werden. Einmal mit Profis... Nur einmal.
If you're trying to install #Windows11version24H2 update and it's a struggle and you're short on space, remember that #WindowsMail, #WindowsCalendar and #Wordpad are all going to be removed automatically, you can make space by uninstalling them in advance.
Too far, #Microsoft. You know #AI doesn't have to go into every single little thing, don't you? No?
Remember #WordPad that you just killed off? That would have been the place for experimenting with this nonsense. Not #Notepad, where simplicity and speed was its USP!

#Microsoft: Adding support for #GenAI to #Paint, before even adding support for layers and transparency. Also adding #GenAI to #Notepad before adding support for rich text formatting - especially since they killed #Wordpad and "replaced" it with Word (sold/rented separately)

The lack of a native #windows app since 24H2 that can open .docx files is really bloody annoying. Why remove #Wordpad?
WTF, #Microsoft have completely removed #Wordpad. I'm now stuck with the shitty #Notepad.
I refuse to pay for Office as its not worth it for a year long licence.
