Windows 10: Notepad slow to open text files

We have some users that have discovered that notepad is slow to open when logged into the domain compared to when you log in locally. We have been able to duplicate the problem but have not found a fix.


We have created two text files with random text with the sizes of 10mb and the other 25mb. They each contain "Speed Test 10mb" or "Speed Test 25mb" repeated until they reach the given size.


They each open immediately using notepad while logged in locally.

Opening using any domain user takes 6 seconds and 17 seconds.


We have tried disabling GPOs, antivirus, etc. Test with a brand new PC with install of Windows. Same result.


What else can I troubleshoot?


I will mention the files open immediately with Notepad ++ and Wordpad logged in locally or using a domain user.


Its easy enough to associate .txt with a different app, but I would like to understand why the difference using Notepad.

end user group prefer the native app

04sall is the name of the document that Notepad has opened. Usually Notepad is meant to open "text" or "source code" files, however it can open other types of files. Now relating back to your issue, the fact that 04sall does not have file format means
that it used by a program or Windows, and could be quite large. This might have caused Notepad to freeze. You will have to force close Notepad, to do that please follow the following steps.

Step 1: Press the buttons "Ctrl, alt, and delete" simultaneously. A list of options should come up. Click on Task Manager from the options that display. Note, if Task Manager is unable to open OR pressing the buttons "Ctrl, alt, and delete" simultaneously
does not do anything, jump to Step 5.

Step 2: In task manager select Notepad. Now click the "End Task" button. If a confirmation message comes up, then click "End Task" in the confirmation message. If Notepad closes then problem is solved. If Notepad does not close please repeat this step.
If repeating this step after 5 times does not work, go on to Step 3.

Step 3: Select Notepad on task manager, right click on the selected Notepad in Task Manager. A drop down menu should come up. Select "Go to Details". After doing this DO NOT click on anything yet. Go to step 4.

Step 4: There should already be something highlighted, right click the highlighted object, a drop down menu should appear. Click "End Task" option from that menu. A prompt will come up, click the "End Process" option on the prompt. If Notepad closes then
problem is solved. If Notepad does not close, please repeat this step. If repeating this step does not work, got to step 5.

Step 5: Hard shutdown the computer, by pressing onto the power button. DO NOT LET GO OF the power button until the computer power indication sign has turned off. Now turn the computer back on. If the issue is gone, then problem is fixed. If "04sall-notepad"
opens up again on startup, please reply back stating that.
