    Windows Movie Maker is no longer available as an official Microsoft download; install Microsoft Clipchamp from the Microsoft Store instead.

    Install Microsoft’s current video editor

    1. Open Start and search for Clipchamp—it may already be installed on Windows 11.
    2. If it is not installed, open Microsoft Store, search for Microsoft Clipchamp, and select Install.
    3. Open Clipchamp and sign in with your Microsoft account.

    Clipchamp is Microsoft’s official video editor, comes preinstalled on many Windows 11 devices, and is also available as a Windows app on compatible Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices.^1^^2^

    About Windows Movie Maker

    Movie Maker was included with Windows Essentials 2012, which Microsoft ended support for on January 10, 2017. The package is unavailable for download from Microsoft. Microsoft warns that websites claiming to provide free Movie Maker downloads are not distributing sanctioned Microsoft products and may include viruses or hidden charges.^3^

    Avoid downloading “Windows Movie Maker” installers from third-party download sites. If Movie Maker is already installed on an older PC, Microsoft says the existing application can continue to work, but it is unsupported.

    Hi, I'm Bernard. I'm happy to help!

    I understand the issue you have. There is nothing to worry about. I am here to assist. Windows Movie Maker has been discontinued and is no longer supported by Microsoft. It has been replaced by Microsoft Clipchamp, which offers similar video editing features, along with additional tools and a more user-friendly interface.

    Note: You can also check your installed apps, as it is already built into Windows.
