helpI can't open .txt files
I restored my machine and still can't access .txt files. Anyone have ideas on resolving this issue?
It seems your document isn't saved. You might try opening it in Notepad Plus Plus or another editor from the link provided.
You installed Apache Open Office as an illustration. After restarting your computer, all external applications such as text editors disappeared.
Open Run by pressing Windows Key + R, then type notepad. Check C:\Windows\System32 for notepad.exe. Try launching a .txt file and click 'Find another app'. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe and select it.
Notepad is included by default, but something seems to have gone wrong. NPP works fine.
It appears the .txt file wasn't opened with Notepad because the default application was missing. Reassign the correct program. Follow these actions: First, double-click any .txt file to trigger the same alert shown in your screenshot. Next, select "Look for another app on this PC" and choose Notepad from the list. Pick the option to always open it with the same settings. If a Notepad entry appears, ignore it and proceed to steps 4 and 5. Then, reset or reinstall Notepad via the Control Panel or Settings. For further assistance, run this command in PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.WindowsNotepad* | Remove-AppxPackage For more guidance, refer to the linked tutorial. This should resolve the issue after step 3. If problems persist, follow steps 4 or 5. Let me know if you need clarification.
