Movie Maker technically still "works" on machines with Windows 10 and 11 if you manage to install it, but it's pretty unstable and full of limitations. Microsoft discontinued it for real, so you won't get security updates or anything like that. In practice, people who still use it generally run into crashes, problems with certain video formats, and random errors.
If you want something that actually works in 2026, it's worth switching to something else. DaVinci Resolve has a free version and is way more reliable, or even CapCut if you want something simpler and faster. There's also Shotcut which is open-source. Any of these options will save you the headache of forcing a program that's been dead for over a decade.
The reason some people can still use it is just because older Windows versions can run old versions of the program, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to count on it for serious work or videos you actually want to look presentable.
I tried using Movie Maker last year to edit a simple video and it was pretty annoying, you know how it is. Microsoft discontinued the program a while ago, so officially it doesn't get support anymore, but it still runs on Windows 10 and 11 if you can get a copy. The problem is it's really limited for modern stuff - it's missing a lot of functionality that you can find in any free editor these days, so you'll probably get frustrated pretty quick.
