“WordPad users who want to keep using it after updating to Windows 11 24H2 can do so by simply saving Wordpad.exe, wordpadfilter.dll, and write.exe. The first two are located in the C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories folder, while the last can be found in C:\Windows.”
Does anyone still use it? I just use markdown if I want basic formatting, otherwise I use Libreoffice.
I use it to maintain a simple readme.doc for my Windows software. The logic was it should look the same to anyone with Windows even if they don’t have Word or OpenOffice.
They have to kill it. Otherwise, some “cheapskate” might decide they don’t need to pay for MS Word, or get spied on by having all their data in the cloud using MS Office Online.
Or they just think there’s no reason to keep it around.
Reminder - Libra Office also works in Windows. So does Open Office.
