Both programs are included in the build by default, but they can be removed and cleared from the Start menu and the list of applications. Similar changes have been made for Windows Media Player.

As noted by the source, removing Paint and WordPad requires a system reboot. After this, both programs will disappear from the Start menu and the list of installed applications. It is still unknown whether similar operations will be carried out in the future for other core programs like Notepad, Photos, etc. However, considering that many people install alternative applications immediately after setting up the system, this approach seems logical.

It's worth noting that there were previous reports of advertising in WordPad. It remains unclear whether it will appear in the release, and whether it's the reason why a decision was made in Redmond to make the application optional. Nevertheless, the version of Windows, which has been evolving for many years, is gradually changing, albeit by borrowing ideas from competitors.
