Just noticed Wordpad is missing and isn't found int the '...Accesories' folder.

Any way to get it back?

    Hello,

    Wordpad is actually one of the deprecated features from Windows.

    You can refer to this support document from Microsoft, I screenshot the relevant section.

    Hey! In Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft removed WordPad to make room for newer features.

    Here’s how to get it back:

    1. Go to Settings > Apps > Optional Features.
    2. If WordPad isn’t there, click 'Add a feature' search for it, and reinstall.

    If that doesn’t work, you can always use Notepad or download WordPad from Microsoft’s site.
