Windows 10: How to disable Word Wrap for all files in Notepad Windows 11 ?

Hello everyone !It seems that there was a recent update on the Windows Notepad at least it changed recently for me, with tabs and stuff.Though this is generally good, i have a problem with word wrapping : i need most of my texte files NOT to wrap, because it is much easier to navigate through.In the recent update, Word Wrap is on by default each time you open a file, even when i previously opened it and turned wrapping off. So i end up turning it off everytime i open a file, which if find annoying.I searched for a config file or parameters menu to turn wrap off by default, but i did not find

Notepad on Windows 10 incorrectly word wraps

Hi,

I've noticed and got more and more pissed of by a slight modification to the classic and simple Notepad application.

If one enables Word Wrap, it should wrap the text at word boundaries. It was fine on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7: text was wrapped at white spaces: space and tabulator.

However, in Windows 10, recently, this behaviour has changed. Now the text is wrapped in the middle of the words, at random.

Any fixes or workarounds for this annoyance?

Notepad in Windows 10

Hi Stephanie,

Status Bar on Notepad may be disabled or grayed out because the Word Wrap options under Format is turned on. To enable Status Bar, you need to uncheck the Word Wrap option first. That is how the Notepad has been programmed. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Click Format.
• Uncheck Word Wrap option.
• Click View again and you'll see that it is already enabled.

If you wish the Status Bar to be always enabled, you may do it by editing your device registry settings. However,
before editing the registry, we suggest backing up the default settings first to make sure that if any issue arises, you can simply go back to your previous settings. To set up a backup, please click

here. Follow the steps below to enable Status Bar:

• Press Windows + R.
• Type Regedit and press Enter.
• Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad.
• Change the StatusBar DWORD value from 0 to 1.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Press F5 to refresh the Registry.
• You can now open Notepad and you'll see that Status Bar is enabled.

Let us know how it goes.
