Notepad jumps to top of page every time I minimize the app; is there a setting to stop this?
Content removed and Updated.
Hello,
That link leads to an article stating that WordPad (not Notepad) is being discontinued. I was asking about Notepad which is a different program/"app". I pasted a screenshot of the top of a Notepad page with the Notepad icon below. This older version has been updated to Notepad++ (with a frog in the icon; screenshot also attached) in Windows 11. Notepad++ always opens at the top of the document after minimizing (not closing) the document. The older version depicted in the screenshot would always open to where I left off after minimizing it temporarily.
If there is a way to set Notepad++ to open at the cursor location after being minimized, this is what I'd like to know. Thanks.
- My mistake. Here is the article about the new designed Notepad. https://www.howtogeek.com/773142/windows-11-has-a-new-notepad-heres-whats-new/
As for your problem, Check this out https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-automatically-save-session-state-for-notepad-in-windows-11.17595/Alabamatom1963changing the "When Notepad starts" option to "Open a new window" did not help. It doesn't open to the top of the file anymore, after minimizing, but it doesn't stay at the location it was at before minimizing. It is close to the top of the file but not at the top.
In my case it is caused by the slide show. It is easy to prove just minimize the file you are using, highlight a file at the bottom, when you see the slide show change your file will jump to the top at the same time. A few key strokes to turn off the slideshow while you are using your list then turn it back on when you are done until they fix it.
