With each major Windows 10 update, Microsoft introduces a plethora of new features. The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is no exception, with Microsoft adding many improvements like the OneDrive Files On-Demand and My People features.
However, alongside these additions, the company is also phasing out many features and functionalities in the new builds. Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Paint, and 3D Builder app will no longer have several features.
In preparation for the major release of Win 10 Fall Creators Update, Microsoft has unveiled a list of features that will be 'discontinued' on the new update. Several features bid farewell to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, including:
- 3D Builder app
Not installed by default, you might consider using Print 3D and Paint 3D as alternatives. Although 3D Builder won't come pre-installed, it remains available on the Windows Store for users to download. The Paint 3D tool supports creating 3D graphics on Windows 10 computers.
- Apndatabase.xml
- Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET)
Blocked. Consider utilizing the Exploit Protection feature of Windows Defender Exploit Guard as an alternative.
- Outlook Express
- Reader app
This feature is seamlessly integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Reading List
This feature is seamlessly integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Screen saver function in Themes

Consider alternative solutions for backing up entire drives from different providers.
- TLS RC4 Ciphers
Disabled by default.

Previously, Mytour informed you about Microsoft discontinuing support for Win 10 on certain older Atom chip computers. It is evident that Microsoft is gradually improving features and pausing support for long-existing devices.
