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.
