I lost Wordpad on the recent Windows 11 upgrade. WTF?

[task0778]

Wordpad was really convenient and now it's gone. Anybody know the easiest way to replace it? Oh, and free too?

It’s replaced with KneePads for meeting with Bill Gates.

I don't see the reason for dropping Wordpad, unless they want to make you pay something for it's replacement. MFers, I ain't doing that.

I agree. I love using Wordpad.

I never used it when I had both so I don't miss it.

Deprecated features in the Windows client

Review the list of features that Microsoft is no longer actively developing in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Shoulda bought a Mac. You can use unlimited number of OS's and update to a new one yet keep the old ones and features you liked.

After some updates I don't recognize my computer... and it takes me all day to get it back like I like it...

Lol, that shit use to drive me insane. Now I am semi retired. I have not turned on my desk top into years. Don't even know where my laptop is. Yep, there was a time those things ruled my life while my fishing poles, guns, and golf clubs gathered dust. Now it is the other way around. Better yet I have ice now. Haven't had that for a few years. Ice fishing gear now has no dust. Today I stayed home 50 mile an hour wind gusts but yesterday. 30, perch, 80 bluegill, 20 crappie.

Dude! You'd rather freeze your ass out in the middle of a frozen lake just so you can catch a fuckin' fish?

I have a shanty. Two man shanty. By the time I drill my holes it is about 63 degrees in there and I am removing some cold weather gear. Ice fishing is as close to being able to call it catching instead of fishing that exists. Believe me when I say a day in a deer stand or duck hunting up here is a way colder experience. Duck hunting is one cold mofo. I am covered in ice most days on the way out to the spot to where I have to pound the ice off me to bend over to get the decoys. No ice fishing is probably my favorite out door event. It is down right pleasant in that shanty. Get some music playing and just start cranking them fish out the ice. The bad part is the hours of fish cleaning afterwards.

They said that was happening months ago.
