It was lightweight, fast, and intentionally limited, making it ideal for power users who needed to view or modify plain text without distractions. However, the modern version of Notepad has moved far beyond that original purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Notepad includes features like emoji support, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/create-tables-notepad-windows-11\/\">Markdown-style formatting<\/a>, tabs, autosave, and multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/ai\">AI-powered tools<\/a>. Some of these features require signing in with a Microsoft account, and while the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/disable-copilot-ai-notepad-windows-11\/\">AI integrations can be disabled<\/a>, the app no longer feels like a minimal utility. For many users, especially those who value simplicity or privacy, this evolution has raised concerns about telemetry, background services, and the app&#8217;s overall direction.<\/p>\n<p>If your goal is to use a truly basic text editor that does exactly one job and nothing more, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-edit-command-line-text-editor-windows-11\/\">Microsoft Edit<\/a> is a compelling alternative. Edit is a command-line text editor that Microsoft has quietly brought back for Windows 11. Although it runs in a Terminal window, it is not limited to keyboard-only workflows. You can use both the keyboard and mouse, navigate menus, select text, and perform common editing tasks with ease.<\/p>\n<p>And most importantly, Microsoft Edit does not include AI features, cloud integration, or account requirements. It is fast, lightweight, and focused solely on plain-text editing. For users who miss the old-school simplicity of Notepad or prefer tools that stay out of the way, Edit offers a clean, reliable experience that feels purpose-built for power users on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll outline the steps to make Microsoft Edit your new basic text editor on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h2>Configure Microsoft Edit as your text file editor on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, you can open the Windows Terminal and then launch the Edit tool, but if you want to make the tool a more Notepad-like experience, you&#8217;ll have to perform some additional action.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you want to create a dedicated profile for Microsoft Edit with a custom color scheme to make the experience more similar to Notepad&#8217;s interface, and you want to provide more direct access to the tool.<\/p>\n<p>To set Microsoft Edit as your basic text editor on Windows 11, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Start<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Search for <strong>Windows Terminal<\/strong>, right-click the top result, and select the <strong>Run as administrator<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Open the main menu and click on <strong>Settings<\/strong> (Ctrl+,).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Add a new profile&#8221;<\/strong> option from the left pane.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Select the <strong>Command Prompt<\/strong> option in the &#8220;Duplicate a profile&#8221;
