What will Microsoft 'kill' in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update update?

In this update, Microsoft intends to erase many of the less-used or obsolete features. This makes it easy to maintain Windows, minimize the risks associated with security and also enable the development of new features.

However, when it is not supported, older software may have errors or cannot be used, many users will be sad when they are used to these features for many years.

Microsoft has listed a list of applications and features that they will not focus on (will not continue to evolve and may be removed during the next release) or actually remove it during the Fall Creators Update update. .

Some of you may not have heard of it before (eg TCP Offload) . The most outstanding thing to mention is the Paint application, the ability to support Screen Saver. It has been removed from themes and may be removed completely from Control Panel and Group Policy. This is probably because the company plans to use the lock screen instead of displaying the screen savers of the computer screen.
