Loosen the Reigns on Notepad: A Simplified Guide on Windows 11

Embrace the charm of simplicity with this step-by-step guide on stripping down Notepad to its core essentials on Windows 11.

Reclaim Your Classic Notepad Experience on Windows 11

Ready to ditch the bells and whistles? Here's how to disarm Notepad's fancy features and reclaim the pristine, clutter-free writing environment you love.

Step Up:

  1. Flaunt Your Notepad Know-How:
  2. Pop open the good ol' Notepad and let the memories flood back.
  3. Settings, Settings, Everywhere:
  4. Click on the cog-shaped settings icon nestled up in the top-right corner of the Notepad window.
  5. Mute the AI Maestro:
  6. Navigate to the "AI Features" section and give the Copilot toggle switch a good, hard switch-off. Sayonara, AI!
  7. Disable Those Lingering Features for a Simplified Stance:
  8. Spell Bound: In the "Spelling" section, flip off the Spell check switch. Let those typos wreak havoc, unpunished!
  9. Type-o Corrector: Toggle off the Autocorrect switch to let your typos ride roughshod over the keyboard.
  10. Mardown Miscreant: If it's there, give the Formatting switch a solid tap to banish Markdown support (just in case Microsoft has smuggled it in).
  11. Save Your Changes:
  12. After turning off the desired features, hit any confirmation or save button to seal the deal. If asked, click "Turn off," if required, though it's not a given for all features.

This tantalizing trio of steps will transform Notepad into a more minimalistic workspace, perfect for those who yearn for the good old days.

If you find Spell check useful but only want to block its interfering ways for specific file types, there's no need to ditch the feature entirely. Instead, select the "Spell check" setting and slap a toggle on that particular format.

Remember that the spelling features politely decline to cross the line with log and source code files.

Microsoft is merely starting to tinker with the idea of text formatting for Notepad, testing the concept via the Windows Insider Program. If you're game, Notepad has a new toggle to silence any formatting follies hiding in the Settings page.
