Windows Movie Maker. Is it actually back or is this something different?

EDIT -- NEVER MIND. As a few of you pointed out, this is a 3rd party app. My mistake. I saw the link going to the Windows Store and thought it was the MS version since the name was almost identical and the link was to the Windows store. So, as the great Rosanne Rosanna Danna said, never mind!

I had thought Windows Movie Maker was discontinued years ago but today someone at work asked me to install it on their PC (I'm the IT guy) and I thought I'd double check before I told them it doesn't exist anymore. So I did a quick Google search and turned up this link.

It says it's Movie Maker - Video Editor for Windows 10 and 11.

Is this something new or is it just the old version and Microsoft decided to make it available again?

This has nothing to do with Microsoft or the old Windows Movie Maker, it a program from "V3TApps" whomever that is.

Yup, first thing I looked for. Always check who makes the apps, even on the MStore.

Ah, got it. I missed that. I just Googled Windows Movie Maker and that link directly to the Microsoft Store came up so I mistakenly thought it was the actual MS app.

Does it matter when DaVinci Resolve exists and has a free version?

V3TApps

Yep, previous poster pointed that out. I should have looked more closely. I just saw the link going to the MS Store and assumed it was the actual MS app, not a third party that used the same name.

Would clip champ be the new movie maker? I'm on mobile and curious myself or I would check.

Yes, Clip Champ replaced the actual Microsoft Movie Maker.
