4.) Is the XPS document viewer still useful on Windows 11?

The XPS Document Viewer is a program developed by Microsoft for viewing XPS (XML Paper Specification) files, a file format for viewing electronic documents. XPS was Microsoft's answer to the widely used PDF format. However, the PDF format has established itself as the standard for exchanging electronic documents, and XPS has never achieved the same level of adoption.

In Windows 11, the XPS document viewer is still available by default, but is used less frequently than PDF viewers and other document viewing applications. Whether it makes sense for you depends on your specific purpose. If you regularly work with XPS files or receive XPS files from others, the XPS Document Viewer may be helpful. Otherwise, there are probably better and widely used options for viewing and editing documents, such as: B. Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF files.


Overall, the usefulness of the XPS document viewer in Windows 11 depends on your individual needs and the file formats you use. There are many other options for viewing and managing documents that may better fit your workflow.
