“WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows,” a support note published by Microsoft said on Friday.
It added: “We recommend Microsoft Word for rich text documents like .doc and .rtf and Windows Notepad for plain text documents like .txt.”
The latest news came a day after the WordPad upgrade. Microsoft added various features for the app like autosave and automatic restoral of tabs. It was the first update for the application since 2018.
