While it’s understandable that Microsoft is moving forward with modern apps, users still want to use the no-frills suite of Windows Essentials. At present, Windows 10 comes pre-installed with modern apps having similar functionality to the earlier ones. The reason behind discontinuing Windows Essentials is that Microsoft is putting all its focus on Windows 10. However, Microsoft deprecated Windows Essentials in 2012 and it’s no longer in development. For example, there was Live Messenger for instant messaging Photo Gallery for viewing and sharing photos Mail for email communication the hugely popular Movie Maker for creating some great movies Live Writer for blogging and OneDrive for uploading files to the cloud. Windows Essentials became quite popular because it had the most fun and exciting apps Microsoft was developing at that time. Windows Essentials was released in 2006 with the launch of Windows XP.
