Windows 11 is going to completely remove two legendary applications that you surely use

It has been proven that many of the changes made at the top of the business world are not for the better and deeply damage the consumer experience. After several stumbles in the implementation of updates that have done nothing but tarnish its reputation, with continuous performance failures and loss of important features, Microsoft is once again entering the scene of controversy after intentionally pressing the alarm button to completely get rid of two legendary applications that you surely use daily.

Microsoft must tread carefully if it wants to regain the trust of its users. So far, the North American company has received tremendous backlash with various reasons for not updating to Windows 11 and is not offering sufficient incentives to carry out this task. In fact, its market share is 35.58%, the highest in its history, thus growing 5 percentage points in recent months.

However, the “threat” of stopping providing security to Windows 10, which still covers 60.95%, starting next year, may encourage more people to migrate to Windows 11. But the truth is that the strategic decisions that Microsoft is making do not provide much incentive to take the step. And one of the recent decisions has only caused controversy among its community.

Goodbye to Windows Calendar and Mail

Microsoft has had a busy year with the inclusion of the long-awaited Windows 11 24H2 update that has caused a stir in the weeks following its launch in October of this year. Countless errors have been detected that have hampered the user experience in many cases, which have even led to having to be remedied with the installation of more patches. But it doesn't end here, as two applications that you surely use will soon disappear.

Do you frequently use Microsoft Mail , Calendar and Contacts? Well, the hardware and software company will ban sending and receiving emails through the classic Windows app, support for which will end on December 31, 2024. Therefore, from January 1, 2025, you will also no longer be able to access all your data through Calendar or continue managing your entire contact list.

 

 

What happens to my stored emails?

You may not have yet moved your Windows Mail to the new Outlook app interface if you have Windows 11, with which Microsoft intends to take the step to make it, from now on, the reference management program for all your emails. That is why, currently, the technological giant is immersed in the transfer to the new appearance of emails for Windows.

However, it has already been warned on its own blog that "local emails, calendar events and contacts stored in Mail, Calendar and Contacts will continue to be exportable" . In turn, the Outlook desktop application within the Microsoft Office 365 package will also be affected in this regard and will be replaced by the new tool.

In any case, there is still a lot left to be done and it is expected that in the next few days all users who have installed Windows 11 will be able to access their email account without any problem.
