In the latest beta version of Notepad (11.2504.46.0), it is also possible to create new texts from a text prompt. You can then edit the document until you are satisfied.

Most code editors are similar to notepad.exe in that they are "text editors", but unlike notepad.exe they have functionality built into them to send the code into the compiler.

Microsoft has added bold, italics, lists, hyperlinks, and even Markdown to the Windows Notepad app, making it look more and more like the now-defunct WordPad.

Microsoft has started testing a new feature in Notepad. The new feature will help you quickly understand content in your text files using Copilot. Know more.
