- Microsoft has deprecated the Windows Maps app and will remove it from the Microsoft Store by July 2025.
- The app is no longer included in clean Windows 11 version 24H2 installations, though it can still be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.
- A final update will make the app nonfunctional, and reinstalling it won't be possible after July 2025.
- Users can switch to the web version of Bing Maps for continued map services.
- Other deprecated features include Windows UWP Map control, Windows Maps platform APIs, and VBS enclaves for Windows 11 version 23H2 and earlier.
