In the latest Windows 10 Insider build, Microsoft has released a new version of Notepad that includes changes that bring it closer to what we have come to expect from modern text file editors.

Notepad will also remember previously entered values and the state of any checkboxes and automatically populate those when you open the find dialog.

Notepad is getting an update that introduces a number of improvements with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809). In this guide, we show you them all.
