We are expanding support of lightweight formatting to include additional Markdown syntax features. This includes strikethrough formatting and nested lists. To get started, explore these new options in the formatting toolbar, keyboard shortcuts, or by editing the Markdown syntax directly.

Fortunately this has already been patched but still, what a fuckup
Jesus fucking christ so the fucking idiots really full on dont even try to test any of the shit they facefuck into 1.4 billion innocent pc’s with every update they release.
they let Copilot run tests and it all passed, no worries
Well the situation explained is a glaring oversight assuming the average Windows user’s opsec common sense, but I’m amazed Notepad isn’t auto-running every single linked file automatically during parsing
That feature was moved to displaying icons (this is old stuff, don’t worry)

Woohoo! We’re gonna party like it’s 1992.
Or I could just use the same version of notepad++ I’ve been using for idk how many years.
Fuck microslop and they lack of testing on anything they push out.
Looks like shit
So why did the get rid of Wordpad?
Word pad had too many features, people could use that instead of word.
And take even longer to launch than it already does. No thanks. A text editor should be a simple text editor. If I wanted anything more complex, I’d use LaTeX.
Personally, I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don’t have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the “new” versions of these apps that come with Windows 11 or leave them and have both. I personally uninstall them.
I even set up these “classic” apps to be my defaults where the “new” versions were before. Everything works perfectly.
For those interested, I wrote a guide on how to do this manually yourself: https://pastebin.com/1WAs38AP
The fact you need a guide to get a working Notepad and Paint back says everything about the state of Windows 11 and Microsoft.
I thought it already did, and that’s why it was dangerous.

It’s a text editor how could it not support markdown?
most simple text editors do not support markdown.
The whole point of markdown is that it’s readable as plaintext.
It would have made more sense to make Edge render markdown.
This would be nice if they hadn’t also included AI slop into it.
The innovation powerhouse ladies and gentleman 🤣 bravo ms (slow-clap…)
Wait, this is old news.
