Each version of Windows 10 adds new features and functionality; occasionally Microsoft may also remove features and functionality after stopping development of such features, often because Microsoft have added a better option. Below are the details about the features and functionalities that we removed in Windows 10 in November 2019. The features described below are no longer being actively developed by Microsoft, and might be removed in a future updates for Windows 10. Some features have been replaced with other features or functionality and some are now available from other sources.

| Package State Roaming (PSR) | PSR will be removed in a future update. PSR allows non-Microsoft developers to access roaming data on devices, enabling developers of UWP applications to write data to Windows and synchronize it to other instantiations of Windows for that user.
The recommended replacement for PSR is Azure App Service. Azure App Service is widely supported, well documented, reliable, and supports cross-platform/cross-ecosystem scenarios such as iOS, Android and web. |
