Windows 11 24H2 removes Cortana and Wordpad

Good thing I plan to stick with 10 at least for now. I create my braille files using wordpad, as Word which I have can be iinteresting to use

The article we’re linking to does say that Microsoft did announce this change to wordpad, We blogged about it at the time with a note that tons of us still use it.

I don’t know what the stats are now, but we can’t say we weren’t warned.

This is going to get very interesting.

  1. I believe wordpad is in the store and thats what you are supposed to use.
    On the other hand while discontinued jarte is the older wordpad.
    I agree with you on 10.
    I haven’t seen any real push to upgrade in my line of work.
    In fact ever since covid and a lot moving to mastidon and various things, a lot of which are my own internal issues mean I don’t actually want to exist constantly online.
    My syncs are still a thing I enjoy for now but maybe those will be tthe next to not be updated.
    I have enough chipfiles that I may just not bother.
    Thats still up in the air.
    The new wordpad access is still up in the air as far as I hear but my info isn’t current.
    Cortana, yeah its been languishing for a bit.
    I do wander how serious ms is on its ai offering.
    Then again while I have a buggy echo dot I am in no real rush to get into ai itself though others are jumping at it.
    Guess though when the borg come and approach me in a certain way then maybe I will be attracted.
    I’ve got nothing to lose at any rate.
    July is my next jump into ai studdy att least that is the plan.

    I will finnish this in saying that I may jump to 12 or whatever.
    My system has yet to die and when it happens I am still uncertain where I will jump to.
    Bar 1 of the family, none of us use 11 even though we can all use it bar myself that is and an aunt.
    I guess once drivers stop running for it then maybe.
