Call Notepad

Question

Hi,

Any way to call Notepad on Windows 11? I don't like Notepad+.

Answer 1

To call Notepad on Windows 11, you can simply search for it in the Start menu or use the Run dialog. Here are the steps:

1. Using the Start Menu:
   • Click on the Start button or press the Windows key on your keyboard.
   • Type "Notepad" in the search bar.
   • Click on the Notepad app from the search results to open it.
2. Using the Run Dialog:
   • Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
   • Type notepad and press Enter.
   • This will launch Notepad immediately.

Notepad is included in Windows 11, so you should have it available by default without needing to install anything extra.
