    1. Go to System -> Optional features and verify that Notepad is listed and if it isn’t add it.
    2. Go to Apps -> Advanced settings for apps -> App executions aliases and disable Notepad.
    3. Enjoy the classic notepad again.

      Like all fixes for Windows, this will either

      • go on an ever-expanding list of workarounds that gets reverted every update, or

      • be done once, forgotten, and then accepted along with many other concessions next update.

      Microsoft thinks opt out means opt out this one time.

        True enough. My own machines are already running linux, except for the work laptop and that isn’t mine.

        As discussed elsewhere in this thread I use both for different purposes.
        Notepad for me is a glorified clipboard for stuff I don’t want to be saved while stuff in Notepad++ is things where I like having the files autosaved for the future.
