Major Windows update today, the most notable feature of which was the expungement of Wordpad, an actually useful program. Nevertheless, I took this opportunity to update my desktop wallpaper for the first time in a couple of years.

rip wordpad. they're getting rid of paint 3d (also an actually useful program) in a couple of weeks, too, for no reason other than they don't want to maintain it i think
They had to delete it. It was using up precious megabytes of system resources that could be better used by advertising Minecraft through the Start menu.
A top-notch program but not really a replacement for Wordpad. Maybe a Markdown plugin would help, but I think there has got to be a better Wordpad drop in.
May I take this moment to recommend NoteTab, which I have used for many years, is very functional and user-friendly (the one license I bought decades ago has transferred to every PC I've had since)
Some 40 years ago, I wrote a paper for a college class using the equivalent editor in Windows 1.4. WYSIWYG changed everything and no more WP printer codes.

Very annoying.
Try LibreOffice.
It out shines the Micro$$oft offering of Office, and couldn't be cheaper....
Now you have Wordpad again 🤔🫣😱
Also: WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT
Wordpad is my go-to at work because of all the MS Word shenanigans.
Let's start with what switches you're making use of..
