To be clear, this is the horrible "new" Notepad "app" that I absolutely hated and instantly removed when it was forced upon everyone. I doubt the old "edit field in a wrapper" one which has been nearly the same since Win95 has this problem.
(My newest machine is now running Linux.)
- AviationAtom 9mo agoMarkdown support and the like are useful but their need to cram AI and account sign-in into it definitely seemed over the top. When they got rid of Wordpad I kind of anticipated them trying to pivot Notepad more in that direction.
- ale42 9mo agoFor what it matters, Windows Server 2025 still has the edit field in a wrapper.
- userbinator 9mo agoThey all still do, just like the old Explorer context menu. It's what you get when you remove the new abomination.
- ale42 9mo agoYou mean... I can just uninstall the Appx package and notepad.exe will revert to the old edit box? That would be great
- accrual 9mo agoYes, I was pleased to see our new Windows Server boxes still have regular Notepad and Explorer.
- chrisjj 9mo agoIs that old still provided?
- layer8 9mo agoYes, it’s still under C:\Windows\notepad.exe, probably for backwards compatibility.
- iefbr14 9mo agoFWIW, when I used windows (up to 7), I always used Notetab.
