Notepad recent files not working (last updated win11)
Hello everyone.
When I click with mouse right button on NOTEPAD app icon (from the application bar, for example), the list of recent / pinned txt files is correctly shown, but as I click on any one of the listed files, a message appears that says that the file is not available, as it could have been ranamed or moved or deleted... but the file exists, has exactly the same name and is placed in the correct (shown) path.
Moreover, if I open the file from its actual path, it opens correctly.
Windows 11, updated with win updates up to 10 jan 2023.
(I uninstalled "win11 advanced" notepad version, that gave other bugs, and I have standard/classic notepad app)
Any suggestion / fix ?
Thank you very much

Just in case anyone other faces this issue - even you have fresh Win 11 installation with all updates installed you may still experience such issue like me.
To solve it just uninstall Notepad and install it back via Microsoft Store - this solved the issue for me.
have you found out how to solve it?
i have the same issue now
Have you found out how to solve it? i have the same issue now with completely new win 11 install with all its latest updates.
