Redesigned Notepad for Windows 11 begins rolling out to Windows
Insiders

Written By

published December 7, 2021

Hello Windows Insiders, today we are beginning to roll out the
redesigned Notepad for Windows 11 to all Windows Insiders in the Dev
Channel.

The Notepad app logo.

We are very excited to introduce to all of you the redesigned Notepad
for Windows 11, which includes a number of changes we think the
community will enjoy! First, you will notice a completely updated UI
that aligns with the new visual design of Windows 11, including
rounded corners, Mica, and more. We know how important Notepad is to
so many of your daily workflows, so we designed this modern spin on
the classic app to feel fresh, but familiar.

Our favorite new feature is dark mode. This has been a top community
ask, and we hope you love this gorgeous new theme as much as we do.
By default, Notepad will adapt to your system theme preferences, but
you can change this option yourself in the brand-new settings page
which is the new home for font options as well.

To help you be more productive, we are introducing a redesigned find
and replace experience and are also adding support for multi-level
undo - another top community feature request.

Productivity, performance, and reliability are paramount in Notepad.
Regardless of how you incorporate Notepad into your workflows, we
will ensure that Notepad continues to excel in those areas. In the
preview version we are releasing today, there are a number of known
issues that we will be addressing in future updates. This includes
issues affecting keyboard access keys usage for when switching
between different input languages or while using Japanese IME, and
under certain circumstances, you may notice unexpected behavior when
using shift-click to select text or when scrolling. We are also
continuing to improve performance for when opening very large files.

We would love to get your feedback about the redesigned Notepad
experience, so please share your suggestions in Feedback Hub (under
Apps > Notepad).

Thanks,
Dave Grochocki, Principal Program Manager Lead - Windows Inbox Apps
