Notepad on Windows 11: Can't Open New Text Document.txt (imgur.com)

I know that a system update might solve this problem, but this is really unbelievable. I thought Notepad should be something fundamental and solid—something that would never fail me on Windows.

Now it's not.

Uninstall Notepad from Settings -> Apps and it reverts back to the original version without bloat or tabs.

I don't see why notepad should've changed in the last 20 years
