Honestly, this blows. WordPad fills a niche between a full blown text editor and notepad. Most of my random daily notes use WordPad still when not OneNote.

I don't get why they aren't retiring notepad instead. WordPad is just as light and fast while having more features.

Not that I really care, I never touch either ever since MS basically stopped developing them 25 years ago. Notepad++, atom, etc, there are so many superb lightweight editors out there.

Probably don't use Atom though seeing as it was sunset at the end of 2022
