Old notepad is still there, you just need to remove the new abomination.
Control panel is still not migrated over to settings after 12 years nor you can open two settings apps.
I wish they'd migrate back to the old Control Panel...
Error messages in modern apps are just the worst
...as the new one is a "modern app" and about as horrible as they come.

- snarfy 7mo agoYou can uninstall it from apps. One bit of cruft with this - I downloaded an alternative app that is simply notepad.exe and put it in my path in the first folder in the path. I could not create a file association to any files to it - Explorer would throw an error about Store app. Even after uninstalling it, a notepad.exe still remains and supercedes my path which is a stub to launch the Microsoft Store. This is the type of slop that needs desperately fixed but I doubt ever will.
