Answer 1

Hi,

Yes, just follow this tutorial:

Start menu > Open Settings > Apps.

Expand "More settings" and click on "Application execution aliases." > Disable "Notepad" by turning off the access button.

Start menu > Open Settings > System > Optional features > View features > Type notepad > Select Notepad (system) from the list and click Next and wait for it to install.

Open command prompt and run the command: reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad /v ShowStoreBanner /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Restart your PC and test.
