Notepad's release cycle is not tied to the Windows 10 update schedule anymore. Microsoft is going to update it independently from the core OS image by turning it into a standalone Store app. Starting with Windows 10 20H1, version 2004, the classic Notepad app has got a new home on the Microsoft Store.



However, starting with Windows 10 Build 17661, Notepad has received plenty of new features and improvements. Notepad is one of the classic Windows apps that had seen updates rarely.
