+Maps is deprecated and will be removed from the Microsoft Store by **[DATE TBD]**. At this time, there will also be a final update to the app from the Store that makes it nonfunctional. If you remove the app prior to **[DATE TBD]**, you can still reinstall it from the Store, but past **[DATE TBD]** you will not be able to reinstall it.

## Paint 3D
Paint 3D is deprecated and will be removed from the Microsoft Store on November 4, 2024. Existing installations of Paint 3D will continue to work, but the app will no longer be available for download from the Microsoft Store. If you remove the app, you can reinstall it from the Microsoft Store until November 4, 2024. After that date, Paint 3D will no longer be available for download. Paint 3D was preinstalled on some Windows 10 devices, but wasn't preinstalled on Windows 11 devices. Some alternatives to Paint 3D include:

As removal of the line printer daemon protocol nears, we'd like to remind customers to ensure their environments are prepared for removal. When these features are eventually removed, clients that print to a server using this protocol, such as UNIX clients, will not be able to connect or print. Instead, UNIX clients should use IPP.

| Location History | We are deprecating and removing the Location History feature, an [API](/uwp/api/windows.devices.geolocation.geolocator.getgeopositionhistoryasync) that allowed Cortana to access 24 hours of device history when location was enabled. With the removal of the Location History feature, location data will no longer be saved locally and the corresponding settings will also be removed from the **Privacy & Security** > **Location** page in **Settings**. | February 2025 |
