Hi to all

Currently, after reinstall Windows 10 64 bit, I face the following issues with Notepad application

  1. I cannot read the old created Notepad files that include Arabic text with or without English text. (Attachment #1).
  2. When create a Notepad file with Arabic text that included in its body (I mean not in title) and when I go to use Save or Save As tab, an error message will be appears tell me to change encoding from ANSI (it seems is default) to other, so that I ask if I how I can make Windows system accept ANSI Encoding, or make the Unicode for instance is the default option to save Notepad files purposes ?

With my best regards

    Hi ESAMI,

    By default the ANSI file type encoding that you can use. Now, you can go to Control Panel > Region > Administrative > language for non-unicode programs > Change system locale > Select the language or countryand then restart your PC).

    Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

    Regards.
