That kind of defeats the point of Notepad being a no-frills, text focused text editor.

It would've made more sense to keep Wordpad in Windows and integrate Copilot there

Notepad should be as lightweight and simple as possible. This is utterly pointless and can only cause more dramas.

Now it takes 10 seconds to open for me, due to tons of tabs it keeps open. With AI and other garbage it will be even slower
