WordPad is one of the few built-in apps not to be updated in Windows 11.

Thus ending our long national nightmare of accidentally opening things in WordPad on a fresh install.

    But word is available.

    Not for me. It’s just too expensive for a task that I very rarely need and there are good free alternatives (like Wordpad - though that’s not the one I use personally).

      Microsoft wants you to use Word online. It’s free if you have a Microsoft account, like Google Docs is.

      You can’t associate local docx or rtf files with Word online, though, which they really should’ve done before nuking their preinstalled docx editor.
