    Can't open notepad - FIX


    Works on: Version Dev (OS Build: 21343.1000)

    Hi there!
    I don't need any help with that thing.
    I just want to help you, if you got problems with opening notepad.

    I've got this problem for a few days, and today I fixed it.
    The problem was, that you can open notepad only by opening a .txt file.

    What you must to do, to fix it, is:
    Open run.exe (WIN + R)
    Type "%localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps"
    Press ENTER

    Now make sure that 0KB notepad.exe file is there.

    After checking, make:
    Open run.exe (WIN + R)
    Type cmd
    Press ENTER

    In the cmd type:
    del "%localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\notepad.exe"

    After that, you can open your notepad normally!
