The rollout of Windows 10 April 2018 Update started a couple of days ago. In case you're wondering which features Microsoft removed from this release, SuperSite for Windows
published a list of the most notable deprecated and removed functionality. Doesn't look like anything of value is gone.
Deprecated
Windows Help Viewer. It doesn’t get much more legacy than this.
Phone Companion. This superfluous app has been replaced by the Phone page in Settings.
Removed
Groove Music Pass. The Groove app no longer mentions the discontinued Groove Music Pass and instead promoted Spotify.
HomeGroup. Once called out in Windows 7 Setup, the HomeGroup feature, finally, is dead. That said, users can still share printers, files, and folders like they used to before Windows 7.
XPS Viewer. This waste of time from the Vista days is still technically available from the Apps and Features control panel. But it’s no longer installed by default. Good riddance.
