Windows 10: Notepad missing from start

Notepad is missing in the start menu, search. I've enabled/installed it from the optional feature option in the settings, I can access it through runwindows+run. Any ideas?

Windows 10 Character Map and Notepad

Well I found the answer to my question. I should have thought through this a little longer.

Notepad is native in ANSI mode.
However Wordpad can work in UTF-8 mode.
I found steps to make Notepad usable in UTF-8 mode but there are a lot of steps and once again there has to be a registry hack to make it work.
Now how do I make Workpad be listed in the most used application through the Start Menu?

 

How do I download a copy of Notepad?

"Windows 10" doesn't seem to respond to your suggestion. More?
