Hello, @peterjones and All,

Peter, in one of your posts, that I cannot seem to find, you mentioned a new feature in Windows 11 Notepad that, by default, allows you to close the application, even if there are unsaved files, similar to Notepad++

Just in case you have not figured out, on your own, how to change this default behavior ( witch would really surprise me ! ), here is the method :

Open Microsoft Notepad

Click on the gear icon, on far right of the Menu bar

Look for the line When Notepad starts

Click on the arrow on the far right of this option

Select the Start new session and discard unsaved changes option

Close and re-start Notepad

=> The old Notepad behavior should be back with just an untitled tab when starting Microsoft Notepad !

Best Regards,
