Windows 10 1903) How to change Default Encoding UTF-8 to ANSI In Notepad?
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. ======================...
- It's suspected to be a bug in Windows and hasn't been fixed in four years, and the only alternative is to change the default editor to Notpad++ or change the encoding settings on save. Thanks, Microsoft.
