I found out that if you don’t like the new win11 notepad with the tabs and all the other bullshit, you can just uninstall it, and the other, older, familiar notepad that was still there all the time, will take over, file type associations and all. This even worked on my work computer, where I am not an admin.
That’s actually really funny and I’m wondering if M$ won’t end up removing it down the line just to prevent the fallback being so easy for users (you know how you want to make things hard for your customers when you make products).
Thanks for the tip. Tabs are dumb, auto saving is annoying, and notepad is literally only for tracking my thoughts since I’m a little scatterbrained. Otherwise I’m going to use a better option like sublime or ++.

I was quite pleased that I could do this.

Oh good one! I was thinking about the absurdity of having to uninstall notepad when this bullshit started. Now I know it’s just a step. Thanks!

Tabs are dumb?
Huh? Notepad++ auto saves and has tabs.
I know, right?
I’m more of a fan of notepad 2-mod
