“WordPad users who want to keep using it after updating to Windows 11 24H2 can do so by simply saving Wordpad.exe, wordpadfilter.dll, and write.exe. The first two are located in the C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories folder, while the last can be found in C:\Windows.”
I use it to maintain a simple readme.doc for my Windows software. The logic was it should look the same to anyone with Windows even if they don’t have Word or OpenOffice.
