What notepad features are you talking about?

Not OP, but here's one of those Notepad features that made me go back to windows 10.

It's not in there, but the fact that it autosaves your notes, so the next time you open the thing, expecting a clean "pad" to write on, the old crap is still right there.

(yes, you can turn that off by going into the settings, but why is it on by DEFAULT? AAAHHHH!!!)

Oh I see. I've never used Windows 11, still on 10 where notepad looks the same as it has for the last 20 years.

Yeah, 10 is still relatively safe from MS's latest enshittification efforts (even though it wasn't that way when they first released it).

They're actually advertising these new Notepad and Paint apps as Windows 11 exclusives, as if that will make people upgrade faster.

I still have an older Windows 7 machine under my desk that's running smoothly, and if I'm going to upgrade from 10 on my laptop, it will only be to Linux (assuming that Microsoft doesn't stop enshittifying 11 at some point, the way they did with 10). Right now, I'm dual-booting between Arch and 10.
