Does Windows 11 Have a Built-in Video Editor?
No Windows 11 bulit-in video editor any more since Windows 10. The stock Windows Movie Maker was removed by Microsoft. For advanced video editing, such as trim, crop or enhance, below is a nice place to get started.

P.S. I don't recommend online video editor as it is slow and take a lot of time for upload and download.
Now, if you want something native to Windows 11, Microsoft actually has a built-in tool called Photos, which you can use for basic video editing. It’s super straightforward and lets you create videos using photos, videos, music, and effects without needing to download anything extra.
If you liked Windows Movie Maker for its simplicity, consider these alternatives for video editing:
- Shotcut: A free, open-source video editor with advanced features.
- Filmora: A user-friendly tool similar to Movie Maker (free version with a watermark).
- Openshot: A lightweight, beginner-friendly video editor.
If you're nostalgic about the built-in video editor, older versions can sometimes be downloaded from unofficial sources, but they pose security risks and may not be compatible with Windows 11. Using the modern tools mentioned above is a safer and more effective option.
