The Notepad getting junk added is a Microsoft Store app. The old notepad.exe is still usable.

And as for all things Windows 11 a tutorial is needed to painstakingly wade through every inch of bullshit.

Huh. That write up seems pretty useful. It's so weird that the redesigned app is just an alias to the old and untouched app that's still sitting in system32

Same way the rest of the OS is built.

All those fucked up snapins and apps and pretty pretty nonfunctional interfaces (try changing an ip) are utterly negated by start-run-"control"

Not all of them anymore. Some control panel icons just throw you into the new settings app.

Whomever was involved with the creation of the "new" printer settings menu should be killed by dumping a whole nest of fire ants high on bath salts into their rectum and then stapling it shut.
