Windows 10: Text Document or Notepad - Right click on desktop

Hello


Earlier I was able to get a Text Document on my desktop but now I cannot


So earlier I used to follow these steps to get Text Document on my desktop


Step 1 : Right click on desktop


Step 2 : Cursor or mouse on New which has a arrow and then a menu pops out which has the option of creating Text Document on desktop and once you click on Text Document a notepad would appear on desktop



But now that option is missing

Windows 10 - Desktop Issue: New Text Document Renaming Bug

I made a new text document on my desktop. I saved it without naming it. It shows as New Text Document. It was Blank. I opened it and was able to enter text. Closed it. It was a notepad document. I right clicked on and sent it to my USB stick. I did
not save as.

Looked in the USB stick and found it listed as New Text Document.

It opened in notepad.

I deleted it from the desktop. It was still in the USB stick.

This is in Build 14986

 

Windows 10 - Desktop Issue: New Text Document Renaming Bug

This doesn't at all reference the issue at hand. The issue is that somehow, the software for notepad has been damaged somehow, either within the application itself, or within the registry. The question, is asking how to fix a notepad that doesn't allow you
to rename it on the desktop, or within a folder on the desktop, but will allow you to save it, move it or delete it from the desktop, or move it to a new location. If you create the notepad and "Save As", no matter what you name it (if created on the desktop),
it appears as "New Text Document" It will also give you an error that it doesn't exist, although, obviously, it does. Again all other types of documents and folders work correctly. Old text documents used by notepad also function normally.

Hi Ramon,

We understand that you'd like to edit the format of documents using Notepad application.

If you're trying to open an Office document like Word or Excel using Notepad, be informed that since the app only detect pure text, it will lose all the format and objects originally came with the document.

You can follow these steps to open a document in Notepad:

1. Right-click the document file.

2. Select Open With, and select Notepad. If not its not on the list, click
Choose another app.

3. Select Notepad, and click OK.

Kindly post back if you have further concerns.
