What Happened to Windows Movie Maker

Movie Maker was officially discontinued on January 10, 2017.

The old download link used to be… http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker

The free download is no longer available on the official Microsoft website.

Microsoft recreated a new dumbed-down video editing app and released it in late 2017.

The new “feature-poor” app can be found in Microsoft Photos for Windows 10.
