@tk @hacks4pancakes Setting aside the complete inanity that you have to deal with this bullshit, I recommend going to Settings/Apps and uninstalling the "Notepad" app. The same old Notepad32.exe is still in your System32 folder, unaffected by the uninstall, and will run as expected -- without the Copilot nonsense.
Or do what I did after a year of Windows 11 -- buy a new Framework laptop, put Ubuntu on it, and stop looking backward. So much less stress!
