Notepad, calculator,... Definitely. I'm almost surprised they removed paint to optional, although WordPad makes a lot of sense.
They're also turning Notepad into an optional feature
For Windows do you really need any other apps than a default browser and WSL installed by default?
Makes sense - if you don’t need them why have them installed. I wish operating systems had better ways to let you install less stuff .
> This change does not remove Paint or WordPad from Windows 10, but you can now disable both apps and also remove traces of these apps from the Start Menu and other locations.
I suspect it's done because they consider Paint and Wordpad to be deprecated and want to help discourage use.

I don't get why they still provide you with the stupid notepad. Just throw it away and preinstall Visual Studio Code as a text editor, Notepad is useless.

Now are the Candy Crush ads going to be optional?

This isn't about having a minimal install. It merely removes links to paint and Wordpad. > This change does not remove Paint or WordPad from Windows 10, but you can now disable both apps and also remove traces of these apps from the Start Menu and other locations.

Paint, to me, is like Notepad. A very low level tool to accomplish basic image manipulation, like Notepad is a low level tool to accomplish basic text manipulation.
I never see either tool going away. I have better tools installed (e.g. Paint.Net) but still go to Paint for basic image manipulation/cropping, because it is fast/simple.

Notepad is one of the most used programs on my machine.
