Cortana

In the support document released by Microsoft last June, it announced the cessation of support for Cortana, and stopped supporting it in the Canary preview version released last August, and users would jump out with a prompt that the current application has been deprecated; in the Windows 11 Build 25967 update released last October, the Cortana application has been completely removed.

WordPad

TapTechNews reported last September that Microsoft issued an announcement stating that the WordPad application in the Win10/Win11 system has been in an inactive state of development for a long time and will be removed through Windows updates in the future, and now this date has finally been finalized.

In the Windows 11 preview version in the Canary channel released by Microsoft in January this year, the 28-year-old WordPad application has been axed.

Tips

The Microsoft Tips application is a pre-installed application for the Win11 system, which not only allows users to quickly get to grips with various new features, but also provides various usage tips.

Microsoft Tips provides many function introductions including discovering keyboard shortcuts, finding ways to optimize the computer, delving deeper into the productivity tips of Office, and enhancing your gaming ability on Windows, etc.
