To view and edit 2D images, you can use [Paint](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pcfs5b6t72h) or [Photos](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfjbh4). For viewing 3D content, you can use [3D Viewer](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh42ths).

| Adobe Type1 fonts <!--9183716-->| Adobe PostScript Type1 fonts are deprecated and support will be removed in a future release of Windows. </br></br> In January 2023, Adobe announced the [end of support for PostScript Type1 fonts](https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html) for their latest software offerings. Remove any dependencies on this font type by selecting a supported font type. To display currently installed fonts, go to **Settings** > **Personalization** > **Fonts**. Application developers and content owners should test their apps and data files with the Adobe Type1 fonts removed. For more information, contact the application vendor or Adobe. | August 2024 |
| DirectAccess <!--8713507-->| DirectAccess is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. We recommend [migrating from DirectAccess to Always On VPN](/windows-server/remote/remote-access/da-always-on-vpn-migration/da-always-on-migration-overview). | June 2024 |

| NTLM <!--8396018-->| All versions of [NTLM](/windows/win32/secauthn/microsoft-ntlm), including LANMAN, NTLMv1, and NTLMv2, are no longer under active feature development and are deprecated. Use of NTLM will continue to work in the next release of Windows Server and the next annual release of Windows. Calls to NTLM should be replaced by calls to Negotiate, which will try to authenticate with Kerberos and only fall back to NTLM when necessary. For more information, see [Resources for deprecated features](deprecated-features-resources.md). | June 2024 |
| Driver Verifier GUI (verifiergui.exe) <!--8995057--> | Driver Verifier GUI, verifiergui.exe, is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Windows. You can use the [Verifier Command Line](/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/verifier-command-line) (verifier.exe) instead of the Driver Verifier GUI.| May 2024 |

| NPLogonNotify and NPPasswordChangeNotify APIs <!--8787264--> | Starting in Windows 11, version 24H2, the inclusion of password payload in MPR notifications is set to disabled by default through group policy in [NPLogonNotify](/windows/win32/api/npapi/nf-npapi-nplogonnotify) and [NPPasswordChangeNotify](/windows/win32/api/npapi/nf-npapi-nppasswordchangenotify) APIs. The APIs may be removed in a future release. The primary reason for disabling this feature is to enhance security. When enabled, these APIs allow the caller to retrieve a user's password, presenting potential risks for password exposure and harvesting by malicious users. To include password payload in MPR notifications, set the [EnableMPRNotifications](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-windowslogon#enablemprnotifications) policy to `enabled`.| March 2024 |
| TLS server authentication certificates using RSA keys with key lengths shorter than 2048 bits <!--8644149-->| Support for certificates using RSA keys with key lengths shorter than 2048 bits will be deprecated. Internet standards and regulatory bodies disallowed the use of 1024-bit keys in 2013, recommending specifically that RSA keys should have a key length of 2048 bits or longer. For more information, see [Transitioning of Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes - Discussion Paper (nist.gov)](https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/Key-Management/documents/transitions/Transitioning_CryptoAlgos_070209.pdf). This deprecation focuses on ensuring that all RSA certificates used for TLS server authentication must have key lengths greater than or equal to 2048 bits to be considered valid by Windows. </br></br> TLS certificates issued by enterprise or test certification authorities (CA) aren't impacted with this change. However, we recommend that they be updated to RSA keys greater than or equal to 2048 bits as a security best practice. This change is necessary to preserve security of Windows customers using certificates for authentication and cryptographic purposes.| March 2024|
| Test Base <!--8790681--> | [Test Base for Microsoft 365](/microsoft-365/test-base/overview), an Azure cloud service for application testing, is deprecated. The service will be retired in the future and will be no longer available for use after retirement. | March 2024 |

MSDT is used to gather diagnostic data for analysis by support professionals. For more information, see [Resources for deprecated features](deprecated-features-resources.md) | January 2023 |
| Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Applications for 32-bit Arm <!--7116112-->| This change is applicable only to devices with an Arm processor, for example Snapdragon processors from Qualcomm. If you have a PC built with a processor from Intel or AMD, this content isn't applicable. If you aren't sure which type of processor you have, check **Settings** > **System** > **About**.</br> </br> Support for 32-bit Arm versions of applications will be removed in a future release of Windows 11. After this change, for the small number of applications affected, app features might be different and you might notice a difference in performance.

For more information, see [Announcing sunset of Windows Information Protection (WIP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2202124).<br> <br>For your data protection needs, Microsoft recommends that you use [Microsoft Purview Information Protection](/microsoft-365/compliance/information-protection) and [Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention](/microsoft-365/compliance/dlp-learn-about-dlp). | July 2022 |

Note: This deprecation applies to only the [command-line management utility](/windows/win32/wmisdk/wmic). WMI itself isn't affected. </br> </br> **[Update - January 2024]**: Currently, WMIC is a Feature on Demand (FoD) that's [preinstalled by default](/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/features-on-demand-non-language-fod#wmic) in Windows 11, versions 23H2 and 22H2.
