| ; You must ensure that the "Microsoft-Windows-Notepad-System-FoD-Package" | |
| ; optional package is installed and the notepad executable is present at | |
| ; its usual location, i.e. at "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe" | |

| ; This will interfere with the text-editing capabilities of the UWP Notepad | |
