Win11 notepad has multiple tabs and previous session saving, which is nice. But it also has a bunch of other crap such as copilot integration and it's logged into your Microsoft account.
- accrual 1y agoMicrosoft recently added both Copilot integration and rich text formatting (!) options to stock Win11 Notepad. Fortunately, they can be turned off for now. I do like that the rich text support allows converting to/from Markdown, but I still prefer plaintext mode.

- reconnecting 1y agoUntil now, I thought the underlined-bold-red text in official announcements was the worst thing Microsoft bring into humans culture, but it seems there's something even bigger coming.

- GuB-42 1y agoSo Notepad quickly went from decades of not having the most basic features, like support for UNIX like endings and files larger than a few kBs, to a 25 MB monstrosity... As if they tried to avoid the sweet spot the best they could.
- x______________ 1y agoFor anyone interested and I don't see this advice posted anywhere enough, you can uninstall the bloated Win11 notepad version from settings -> apps and Notepad will revert back to the plain text version we all know and love (which now stands at 352kb).
