I read that as Persons of Color released for Windows and was very confused.
Lol, fucking Notepad has vulnerabilities now? Microsoft is really circling the drain.
No. Regular notepad.exe does not have vulnerabilities.
Notable that it’s only some special version of notepad from the Windows Store which can parse markdown, and not regular notepad.exe bundled with windows
Nah, that version is the standard Notepad in Windows 11. Unless you do some modifications to disable app aliases and uninstall some stuff, you will never have the "classic" notepad.exe.
Oh, nah. I only run windows ME
For Home users yes, the Pro editions still come with both, and Enterprise/LTSC only come with classic and no Microsoft Store/UWP apps, but yeah overwhelming majority of users are stuck on Home, so...
I have is Windows 11 Enterprise, and that doesn't start the classic... even if I manually invoke that classic notepad.exe from system32.
I have never opened Microsoft Store other than to install WSL2, and I don't think my company's admins are dumb enough to provision such stuff automatically, but I dunno. If I uninstall the store Notepad, it'd probably revert back to the classic version, but of course I'd rather uninstall the entire OS...
Interesting, I'm running Enterprise now and I had to manually setup the Store and certain UWP apps I use day to day. I still have the classic notepad and snipping tool.
