Notepad now supports AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite on Copilot+ PCs, with no subscription required. If you have a subscription, you can seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs. If you’re not signed in or don’t have a subscription, you can use the local model to accomplish your tasks. For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

They changed the save to auto store. Super annoying now. If I wanted to keep it I would save it. Now I have extra clicks.

I am not the only user that pastes things there to look at or temporarily copy from. A lot of people I know are annoyed. Could I turn it off? I don't know maybe, but there are better options now anyways.

Kate works on windows and edit is coming back so notepad just gets removed.

Still not seeing how it can’t be used as a scratchpad?
