I used notepad for quick edit of simple files OR copy pasting and removing formatting.

Copilot excluded, who decided that it was a good idea to have multi tab notepad that remembers unsaved files between executions ?

"We solved that, just go into settings to toggle that behaviour !"

Who decided that notepad had to have a full settings page ?

"Just use the feedback hub" ?

So basically, you removed Wordpad and now regret this decision and are slowly turning notepad into Jeff Raskins' Archy ?
