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.
I don’t get why they aren’t retiring notepad instead. WordPad is just as light and fast while having more features.
Not that I really care, I never touch either ever since MS basically stopped developing them 25 years ago. Notepad++, atom, etc, there are so many superb lightweight editors out there.
Notepad is absolutely a fantastic tool for stripping any formatting from text and loading a file exactly how you expect it. Like vim only without the easy to use shortcuts.

Probably don’t use Atom though seeing as it was sunset at the end of 2022
