Microsoft announced today that it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it's no longer under active development, though the company did not specify the precise timing of this change.

    Notepad is the default text editor on Windows. I’d be surprised if most people even knew WordPad existed.

      Interestingly enough I have seen a lot of new PCs that have Wordpad as default (mostly dells and some HPs).

        I have seen that too and the first thing you do is change it to notepad as wordpad isn’t good for text files
