I had higher expectations for Windows 11.

After upgrading to a new laptop running Windows 11, I was excited about the latest features, but now I'm facing unexpected challenges.

In Windows 10, I easily edited Gcode files for my 3D printer in WordPad, saved them, and transferred them directly to my printer. However, in Windows 11, every time I try to save an edited file, it automatically changes the file type to a text file, causing my 3D printer to fail in recognizing it.

Unlike Windows 10, where I could set Gcode files to open in WordPad, Windows 11 seems unable to find WordPad when using the 'Open With' option. Despite manually locating and opening WordPad, the system still struggles to detect the app for file associations.

Even after locating WordPad, pinning it to the start menu, taskbar, and creating a desktop shortcut, Windows 11 seems incapable of displaying it in the start menu or recognizing it when using the 'Open With' function, resulting in Gcode files being saved in an undesirable format.

If Windows 11 is intended to be an improvement, I would appreciate expert assistance in resolving these issues and restoring my confidence in the operating system.
