    @ReddyLutonadio: Under Windows 11 after taskkill.exe, the first invocation of notepad brings up all the killed windows with their content. The windows need to be closed, which means the user has to click "Don't save" for each. Just another bright idea by Microsoft.

  • why don't just use dedicated Notes apps? They can be mapped to a global shortcut key and have much more features. For example OneNote maps to Win+N, Win+Shift+N or Win+Alt+N
