> Microsoft forum user Kave discovered the problem on Tuesday when trying to access work-related information stored in Notepad. “Getting the error code 0x803f8001 for most my microsoft apps including my Notepad app which has important information and URLS i need for my job. This is getting pretty paralyzing,”

It's always good to get some end-user perspective. "Hmm, notepad can't open a text file anymore" is such a trivial hurdle for power users, but completely blocks regular users

MS Teams shipped being able to edit MS office files but not .txt's. This news about Win11 breaking notepad isn't that surprising. They've been cooked for a while now.
