Microsoft beberapa waktu yang lalu memberikan pengumuman yang cukup mengejutkan untuk pengguna Windows, di mana mereka akan segera menutup layanan WordPad secara resmi di Windows 12 nanti. Bahkan mereka mulai menghentikan dukungan ini di Windows 11 22H2.
Perusahaan telah meyakinkan pengguna Windows bahwa WordPad sendiri akan dihentikan mulai dari Windows 11 22H2, di mana akan resmi dihentikan pada pembaruan di minggu ini. Pengguna Windows dipastikan tidak bisa mengakses WordPad setelah melakukan pembaruan terbaru.
Microsoft is killing off WordPad in a future version of Windows, which will likely be Windows 12. According to sources familiar with the development, the next big release of Windows is “Windows 12“, which is scheduled to be announced sometime in the fall of 2024. It would be the first version of Windows to ship without WordPad.
WordPad has been in Windows for 28 years, and Microsoft has stopped updating the app since Windows 7. The last big update to WordPad was released in October 2009 with Windows 7’s new Ribbon UI.
Sebagai gantinya, perusahaan mulai memberikan fokus untuk pengembangan layanan pengolahan kata lainnya seperti Word dan Notepad. Mengingat beberapa bulan ini Microsoft memang kerap kali merilis peningkatan untuk kemampuan baru di Notepad dan juga Office Word.
WordPad is not as popular as NotePad or MS Word, but it has its fan following in the tech community. WordPad is the only lightweight Microsoft app for writing notes with screenshots/images. It doesn’t require powerful hardware and works without connecting to the internet.
“I’m fine with no updates to WordPad, but it will suck if they remove it. Why not remove Candy Crush if they want to reduce bloatware in Windows?” one of our readers questioned Microsoft’s decision.
We’re not surprised by Microsoft’s decision to depreciate and remove WordPad in a future release of Windows, given that the program has not been getting any updates and has been an optional Windows feature since February 2020.
If you do not use the app, you can head to the Settings app, visit the optional features/apps page to find ‘WordPad’, and then select the app and remove it from the system.
Oleh karena itu, kita bisa memastikan bahwa pengguna Windows di masa yang akan datang tidak akan bisa mengakses layanan WordPad dan akan difokuskan untuk Notepad dan Office Word. Bagaimana menurutmu?
