Microsoft showed off a lot of newfeatures coming to Windows 11but was understandably silent on what users will miss when upgrading.
Fortunately, later Microsoftpublished a list of featuresthat will be deprecated or removed when Windows 11 event hits devices this fall.
According to Microsoft users will need to say their goodbyes to the following:
The following apps will not be removed on upgrade but will no longer be installed on new devices or when clean-installing Windows 11. They are available for download from the Store:
Some of the items on the list seem like justifiable changes to improve the overall optimization of Windows such as getting rid of duplicate experience like OneNote, Paint, Internet Explorer, and Snipping Tool. However, there are some oddities such as Skype, Tablet Mode, Pinned Apps, and roaming Wallpapers, which stand out as headscratchers as well a curious admission to the company’s failed Windows 10 vision.
Arguably, most of the items listed have been mostly depreciated by users and it just seems Microsoft has finally caught up on clearing out the cruft.
