    Notepad is unable to open txt files on an SMB share


    After updating from Windows 10 version 1803 to version 1909, I cannot open .txt files that have been saved to SMB shares using Notepad. The files work correctly with other applications like Notepad++, and they also worked correctly before the update.


    Unfortunately the error message isn't very specific:

    Notepad is unable to open txt files on an SMB share 0ca1172a-9eb6-40c8-924d-228123aec389?upload=true.png


    This is happening on multiple computers, which leads me to think it might be related to the file server, but I haven't been able to track anything down - and the issue was definitely introduced with the new OS update.

    Notepad - Cant drag and drop to open txt

    Normally, if I have notepad open, I would be able to click and drag an appropriate file into notepad, like a txt file, and it would open in notepad. Now, when I click and drag files into notepad, nothing happens.

    Any Suggestions
