Microsoft has announced plans to discontinue WordPad, an app that has been a part of the Windows operating system for almost 28 years. The upcoming Windows update will no longer include the native and free word processing app. However, users will still have other options such as Microsoft Word (with a subscription), Notepad, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and other third-party word processing apps. The discontinuation of WordPad is not expected to have a significant impact on users.
