Windows 10: Notepad is missing, but listed as "installed" in optional features.

Look, I can understand removing a piece of software that has been a mainstay of the text editing process on windows since MS-DOS, whatever.My PC just updated itself because M$ has decided that SAAS is more important than making a usable operating system, and don't victim blame me with "oh, then you should've stayed with windows 7," I do not care about your opinions on that matter and ***NOTEPAD*** went missing.
