It’s still bare-bones by most standards, but Notepad has evolved a lot recently.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The update that adds these features to Notepad is now rolling out to all Windows 11 users via the Microsoft Store, as reported by The Verge.

    Neither feature worked when I opened a batch file in Notepad to edit it, for example.

    I can currently see the spellcheck and autocorrect features in Notepad version 11.2405.13.0 running on a fully updated Windows 11 23H2 PC, but your mileage may vary.

    Notepad has received several updates over the course of the Windows 11 era, starting with dark mode support and other theme options.

    Eventually, it also added a tabbed interface that supported automatically reopening files when relaunching the app.

    The Notepad improvements come as Microsoft prepares to stop shipping WordPad with Windows 11.
