Picture of text written in Notepad: STOP UPDATING NOTEPAD. TEXT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN UNORDERED LISTS. YEARS OF DEFAULT APP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND FOR BASIC FORMATTING OPTIONS. Wanted to format anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called "WORDPAD". "Yes please give me LINKS in my file. Please give me HEADERS." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged. LOOK at what Microsoft has been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the programming language & technology we built for them (This is REAL Notepad, made by REAL Microsoft): ??????? ?????? ???????? "Hello I would like TABLES in a future update" They have played us for absolute fools

The Notepad getting junk added is a Microsoft Store app. The old notepad.exe is still usable.

    Huh. That write up seems pretty useful. It's so weird that the redesigned app is just an alias to the old and untouched app that's still sitting in system32

    Same way the rest of the OS is built.

    All those fucked up snapins and apps and pretty pretty nonfunctional interfaces (try changing an ip) are utterly negated by start-run-"control"

    Not all of them anymore. Some control panel icons just throw you into the new settings app.
