Windows 10: NotePad opens saved files minimized

All of my saved notepad txt files open minimized. How can I have them open
maximized?

Thanks.

I've already tried Type notepad in start menu search field> right click it> properties> shortcut tab> for the 'Run' option, select 'Maximized'. Apply> ok.
If I make a notepad shortcut on my desktop the shortcut will open maximized. It is the saved
txt files that will not open full screen.

Saved note in Notepad opens blank

Hi Thistlefur,

There could be a number of factors as to why you are experiencing issues with a file on your computer. One possible cause could be corrupted system files.

I'd like to know more about your concern. Kindly verify if you were able to open the file before after saving it. Is the issue specific to a particular notepad file? Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the System File Checker and DISM tool to scan for any corrupted system files. Here's how:

1. On the Start menu, type Command Prompt. Right-click the result, and then select
   Run as administrator.
2. Copy or type each command followed by hitting Enter.
   
   dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
   
   sfc /scannow
   
   

You can also restore the previous version of the notepad file. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the notepad file and then select Properties.
   
2. Click the Previous Versions tab.
   
3. Under File versions, select a version you would like to restore. Click
   Open to check for the contents. If you're satisfied with the contents of the file, you can click
   Restore. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing file version that you have.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.

Possible that you accidentally save the files in a different file extension name.

save notepad file

You cannot save the file type as a .doc directly from Notepad, but you can save the file as a text file, open it with Word and save it as a .doc file.
