Text Editor’s Exit Begins On Windows; WPS To Trio Office, Free Apps To Edit Documents On PC Here [Video]

Microsoft WordPad News: After nearly three decades of journey, Microsoft is killing its WordPad, the feature-deficient version of the company’s paid service – Microsoft Word. Sharing an update in the recent Windows Insider Blog, the company said that WordPad will no longer be installed after a user performs a clean installation of the operating system (starting with the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build 26020 Canary channel).
