The first major revision of Win11 is just around the corner, and before that, some small changes have been gradually implemented, such as since yesterday, the new version of Notepad and Media Player have been pushed to ordinary users. Notepad is now updatable, so let's see what's changed.
The first thing to note is that Xiaobian wrote here is an update, yes, the search download method mentioned in many introductions is actually quite unreliable, because this application is in the update list. Let's first open the Microsoft Store that comes with Windows11, and then without searching, directly click on the "Library" below the left column to see the updatable application. Among them, Windows Notepad is the new version of Notepad.
Click Update directly, and notepad will be replaced with a new version when you are finished. Don't worry, although the name in the store is not localized, after the update, the interface on the system and after opening is actually a completely Chinese Simplified version. As can be seen from the interface, the shape design of the new version of Notepad is more in line with the overall style of Win11, such as the window and internal menu, and the right-click menu are all over-rounded corners. And the interface feels more refreshing and concise, and there will be no problem that the default window is too wide when opened.
In addition, the notepad that used to "match" only edit plain text files can now be changed more through the settings in the upper right corner. Clicking "Apply Theme" and "Font" can directly open the intuitive settings interface, where the interface settings allow it to keep up with the interface changes of Win11, and the preview of fonts is changed from English to Chinese which is obviously more practical.
As for the effect, it can be said that it is a small change, a significant improvement, so that Notepad has been upgraded from a plain text editor to a more practical but still simple modern text processing software. For small partners who are not very demanding, it can largely replace more functional but somewhat difficult to use wordpads or various office documentation tools. This makes Xiaobian a little looking forward to the future of the built-in application revision, you?
