Windows 11 Feature Requests
Is there a board to post feature requests in win11? I'd vote to get back named group in start menu pinned apps. It helps when you have a lot of apps on your system.

- This is the One feature i feel is soooo Underrated. I Group my apps for better accessibility as I have a lot of apps in general. And this new "Upgrade" is the only reason I ain't switching to Win 11.
- Use the Feedback hub app; It has been available since Windows 10 build 9841, and is useful to provide feedback as well as feature suggestions.
- Yes thank you for your replies I will use the feedback although I have already heard that unfortunately microsoft so far has decided there are no changes to notepad in windows 11. I hope they do see this & I hope they reconsider
I generally don't use notepad;
I admit it is valuable if apps malfunction (One of those 'Microsoft Windows' things), but I use a bunch of other text/code editors, I would suggest giving one of them a try, and you are likely to find the feature(s) you want along with many others;
Notepad++
~ A nice lightweight app that provides text (txt) file modifications, as well as operating as a very useful code editor, in particular because of the light-weight nature of the application;
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Visual Studio Code
~ This app is significantly heavier than notepad++, but provide a great deal of really valuable visual features, such as a directory tree and file review, as well as feature buttons and a tabbed interface (just like notepad++);
https://code.visualstudio.com/
~These other, publicly available apps ( as well as the Microsoft provided one) are likely why notepad won't see additional features; If you need more features, you have apps available, if you need something simple that WILL ALWAYS WORK, notepad is your choice.
- No, there is no website to share feedback and upvote it for the Windows 11. The best way to do it is using the Feedback Hub app.
However, you may share discussion about Windows 11 in this forum.I too would like to find a feature request page for windows 11. I have been really wanting a feature for a long time. Feel free to tell me if it sounds stupid.
I frequently take long notes & write things using Notepad & think Notepad is long overdue for some new features like highlighting text or changing fonts on specific lines only etc.
I realize rich text document kinda has some of these options but the dedicated margins etc suck.
Please microsoft give us some new features in Notepad- The editor Notepad is not really the right application for such a request! Please do not implement this in Notepad. In previous versions of Windows there was an application named WordPad which had exactly those features you are requesting. It should be easy to bring that back! Microsoft: just do it!
