Yeah, my work computer I uninstalled the UWP Notepad by right clicking it in start menu and choosing uninstall. Then when I open Notepad from search or run it opens the old Notepad instead.
I am aware of Remove-AppXPackage being a thing but I kind of expected the notepad thing to be an integral part of itm
Probably the usual of replacig the frontend and usi g a skin on top of the old EXE by using it as a backend.
Only way I’ve found is to have a script that uninstalls certain apps using Powershell on logon. We are rolling out Notepad3 instead, it’s better than UWP or classic, which they patched to nag you about the UWP version.
I just uninstalled the UWP Notepad and use the old one. But I guess some people need hobbies.
The programmer from the article is Dave Plummer. This is one of his hobbies. Check his YouTube channel Dave’s Garage for more of them
What’s wrong with having hobbies?
Nothing wrong with having hobbies. They give us lots of interesting things.
It’s illegal.
You can do that??
Guess I have to find out how to do it in a reliable way for our prepped client systems!!
