Windows 10: Notepad is getting closed automatically.

Sometimes an existing notepad file is opened to update the file. It closes automatically.

Notepad is closing automatically Windows 11 Home

In Notepad 11 (version 11.2302), the application closes automatically without prompting for confirmation, even if there are unsaved changes. This can cause users to lose their work if they accidentally press Ctrl + W or click on the Close button. People who work with keyboards for long hours, such as developers, software engineers, and coders, are prone to encounter these issues.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Notepad 11.
Type some text in the editor.
Press Ctrl + W or click on the Close button.
Note that the application closes without asking for confirmation or saving changes.

Expected Behavior: Notepad should prompt for confirmation when closing the application, giving the user a chance to save any unsaved changes before exiting.

Actual Behavior: Notepad 11 closes automatically without asking for confirmation, potentially causing data loss.

Possible Solution: Implement a confirmation dialog when closing Notepad 11 to prevent accidental closures and data loss. Additionally, adding an auto-save feature could help users recover their work in case of unexpected closures.

Severity: High, as it can cause users to lose their work without warning.

Reproducibility: Always.

 

Notepad is closing automatically Windows 11 Home

I have Windows 11 Home. Notepad is closing automatically. I have already deleted it and reinstalled it. It is still doing the same. I use notepad for work and I really need it. It closes as soon as you get to line 26 of Notepad.

I don't have any antivirus software and I don't have any virus either.

I tried this:

Right click on notepad

Settings

repair, reset

it gave me an error message that says: the deployment operation failed because the specified application needs to be registered first.

 

notepad

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.
