I'm using Windows 11 and I'm needing a bit of assistance from some tech genius on here
(and there are more than a few) who can advise about a notepad which has disappeared.
Briefly, I'd been adding several links to it over a few days though foolishly, I hadn't
saved it even once when shutting down for the day (as they always re-appear on
startup) but for some strange reason, it just disappeared from the toolbar (when I was
using my computer yesterday) and I'm certain without me having closed it (saved or unsaved)
and now it can't be located.
I didn't close down the computer last night just in case someone told me afterwards when
it was too late that I could've retrieved the notepad if I hadn't closed down for the night.
Any easy to follow assistance would be much appreciated - thanks.

Ask chat gpt, it'll take you through all the options step by step, it's my first port of call these days, my pc was not booting up correctly and then locking me out for 2 hours recently and it quickly identified that it was a £5 battery I needed replacing which sorted it, ideal for a non techy like me.

This is a classic (and very frustrating) Notepad unsaved file situation in Windows 11.
I’ll give you the realistic answer first, then what they can try. ⚠️ The honest reality Old-style Notepad traditionally: does NOT auto-save does NOT recover unsaved files after closing or crashing So if the window truly closed, the content is usually gone. ✅ BUT — Windows 11 changed Notepad Newer versions of Notepad (Windows 11) sometimes: auto-save tabs restore previous sessions So there is a chance depending on their version. |

Things they should try (in order)
1️⃣ Reopen Notepad and check tabs Tell them to: Open Notepad again Look at the top for tabs Windows 11 Notepad sometimes restores: previously open tabs even unsaved content 2️⃣ Check if it’s just off-screen/minimised Sometimes it hasn’t closed at all. Ask them to: Press Alt + Tab → look for Notepad Or press Windows + Tab (Task View) Or check the taskbar for a hidden window 3️⃣ Check temporary files (long shot, but worth it) Press Windows + R Type: %temp% Look for files starting with: ~ or random .txt files 4️⃣ Check “Recent files” In Notepad: File → Open → Recent (Only works if it was saved at least once — sounds like it wasn’t, but worth checking) 5️⃣ Don’t restart yet (important) You were right to mention this. If the PC hasn’t restarted: there’s a tiny chance the session is still in memory restarting would definitely kill that chance |

check your recycling bin on the way back in.

Also check in task manager to see if Notepad is still running -- you might have moved its window off the edge of the screen.

I just asked for some help with a computer problem...and you're in the wings waiting to pounce  PS - you're also likely to be one of those who whines about the forum not being the same place it used to be...and that's entirely due to bellendry from gobshítes like you!  |
