Text files are opening in garbled format
I recently reinstalled Windows a week ago, and since then, I've been experiencing an issue where every .txt file I try to open in Notepad or Wordpad appears garbled. Is there a solution to this problem?

In Notepad, click File > Open, select All Files (.), then manually set the encoding to UTF-8 or ANSI to open the text file correctly.
