Is anyone else having issues when closing the new Windows 11 notepad? When opening a .txt document associated with instructions on installing reskins notepad opens with a bunch of tabs and will not close without having to make decisions to delete, keep or cancel. After doing research I found that uninstalling the new version of windows Notepad will allow the old version to open by default without the tabs. I did try setting to open in a new window in the new version but that did not solve the issue. I created a shortcut from old Notepad.exe and put it on the desktop and placed it in the system tray.

Yes. I find the tabs very annoying. They keep accumulating and once you realize there are too many, it´s late and you got a lot of work to delete all of them.

I have deleted the new Windows 11 notepad from programs and created a link from Notepad.exe in Windows programs to the desktop. No more nonsense. Too confusing to use Notepad++

I wouldn´t care if there was a way to delete all the tabs with one command, but there isn´t such keystroke.

At the top right of Notepad is a settings icon.

You can change the behaviour of Notepad there, for instance not to keep old content.

See attached.

Many thanks.

THank you.

After uninstalling Windows 11 notepad it cleared the notepad cache. After a reinstall I immediately changed the settings to open in a new window when Notepad starts. Now no tabs. Thanks for the help.
