TheOctober 2018 Update(AKA Windows 10 version 1809) will remove several features from Windows 10. As noted in a report fromNeowin, Microsoft haspublished a listshowing all the Windows 10 features that will soon be “removed or depreciated.” Let’s start the features that will be removed:

Next, there are a couple of features that will still be there in the October 2018 update, but Microsoft will no longer be actively developing them. The list includes the Windows 10 Snipping tool, a legacy desktop app that Microsoft intends to replace with itsnew Snip & Sketch UWP app. You can get more details below:

Many of the features that are being removed or no longer developed should not come as a big deal for the majority of Windows 10 users. Last year, Microsoft made headlines by announcing that the legacy MS Paint app would be killed off with the Fall Creators Update, but a bad buzz eventuallyled the company to backtrack. Just like Paint, the legacy Snipping Tool still has its fans and Microsoft is right not to force Windows 10 users to a new UWP solution. Otherwise, the upcoming October 2018 Update will bring some exciting new features such as the new Cloud Clipboard and Your Phone app, and we’ll have more to share when it starts rolling out in the coming weeks.
