The title is clear and is that Apple stops supporting QuickTime on Windows. This, which in most cases does not mean the end of use by users in some programs that are no longer supported, it seems that in the case of QuickTime for Windows it is what it seems.
On numerous occasions it happens that a developer stops supporting an operating system and this does not mean that we have to uninstall it from our machine, but in this case a couple of critical vulnerabilities in the video player will remain unsolved, so it is better to remove the player directly.
It is true that not many Windows users are in the habit of using QuickTime to play multimedia, in fact since Windows 8 it had to be installed by doing a little trick, and it has been said for a long time that it would end up disappearing altogether. Apple sentences the player to stop offering support and with a security problem, little or nothing is left to live and it is advisable to remove it directly from the PC.
On the other hand, it should be noted that Apple released an update at the beginning of this year with bug fixes in 7.7.9 also eliminating support for the extension in browsers, now the official support goodbye is final and this implies a serious setback to continue using the software. In any case, nobody says that they can patch these two vulnerabilities with an update, but the next ones that arrive will no longer be solved, so it is best to leave this player aside in Windows.
