Windows 10: Wordpad taking 30 sec. to open.

New PC w/Win 11 and Wordpad taking 30 sec. to open unless network disabled. A search revealed the same problem reported for a couple of years. As reported, disable network and Wordpad opens instantly. Why hasn't MS fixed it? Same with AutoPlay which hasn't worked for several versions of Windows.

wordpad notepad

hi

I went to use WordPad today but am unable to find it in apps. Scrolling down the list it doesn't list notepad or WordPad as an app. I tried to ask Cortana to open it by saying "open WordPad" all I get as a response is her say open what app. looking at the
speechbox it seems to recognise what I am saying I couldn't get her to open any apps try calculator as well . She did suggest sites on how to open WordPad. In the end I went through file explorer and found a shortcut to WordPad but why isn't it listed as an
app ?

 

When opening a link it takes 25-30 sec to open.

I am having trouble opening links that get send to me via discord/steam or any program.

Normally it instantly open in Chrome/Edge.

But now it takes ~30 sec to open a link in chrome/edge when I click on it.

If I copy the link manually and paste it in url bar it open instantly.

Never had this problem before so I hope someone can help me.

Edit: This happened on a fresh windows 10 x64 install with latest drivers.

Edit2: I tried to set my default browser to Edge to see if it fixes the problem. But Edge also reproduce the same behavior as Chrome.

WordPad issue

I like to suggest you some steps as per my last experience follow these:
Click -> Start menu -> type ‘WordPad' in the taskbar-> search and click on the result. -> open WordPad.
If you’re find difficulty to open WordPad,
the Press -> Windows + R key -> type ‘Write’ -> hit enter.
You will WordPad application launching on the
screen.
or
Navigate this path C:\windows\system32\ you will see a ‘write’ (File).
The application is here now.




or
Just run an Office repair sofwtare to check if there will be any changes on the Word pad.
