I initially thought upgrading to a new laptop with the latest version of Windows would be beneficial, but I am now experiencing some drawbacks.
On Windows 10, I typically edit Gcode files for my 3D printer using WordPad, save them, and then directly load them into my 3D printer. However, after switching to Windows 11, whenever I try to save an edited file, it automatically changes the file name to a text file, rendering it unrecognizable by my 3D printer.
Furthermore, on Windows 10, I could easily set Gcode files to open in WordPad. However, on Windows 11, WordPad is not showing up in the 'Open With' options. Even though I manually locate and open WordPad, the system doesn't recognize WordPad for the 'Open With' function.
Despite my best efforts to locate WordPad, I pinned it to the Start menu, but unfortunately, it fails to appear when I access the Start menu. This seems odd for a supposedly 'advanced' Windows 11 system. Despite pinning it to the Start menu, taskbar, and creating a desktop shortcut, WordPad remains elusive. Additionally, the system persists in saving Gcode files in an undesired format.
If Windows 11 is indeed an improvement, I would greatly appreciate assistance from an expert in restoring my confidence in the operating system.
