Notepad Default encoding UTF8 Windows 10 Version 1903
Hello, does anyone know if you can re-enable ANSI encoding by registry in the notepad, instead of the default UTF8 encoding, which is given since Windows 10 version 1903.
Hello,
after a big battle I realized that the solution was provided by abbodi1406 , so I did as follows and it works like a charm:
- In Regedit go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad
- in the menu select edit/new/DWORD
- in the DWORD name enter iDefaultEncoding and enter value 1 as hexadecimal (it will automatically display as 0x0000001 (1) once you press OK)
That's it 🙂
