Windows 11 Pro 24H2
As all users of Windows 11 using 24H2, WordPad has been removed well for somethings I still like to use it. This is how I restored WordPad to Windows 11 -

Copy the WordpadFilter.dll, wordpad.exe, and localization folder, from a system that is not running 24H2 (as it is not there) to an external data drive or USB stick.

Paste the files into a new folder on your 24H2 computer

Right-click on the wordpad.exe file and select Show more options.

Select Send to and then Desktop (create shortcut).

Open the Start menu, click All apps, and scroll to find WordPad.

Pin WordPad to the taskbar or Start menu.

Go to Settings > Apps > Default apps and select WordPad.

Set WordPad as the default app to open certain types of documents

I can hardly read what you’re asking with those colours. So i’ll guess the answer, Wednesdays?

Sorry, I use a dark background. .

Since I could not just get the original message to revert to DEFAULT, I posted two copies of the same thing one for DARK backgrounds and one for LIGHT. In the future, I will use the default colors from only.

So I highlited your text. I see you’ve explained re-adding Wordpad.

I wouldn’t stress about the removal of wordpad. I’ve been watching Notepad. I predict formatting will eventually become a part of Notepad before long.
If you read Brinks tutorial section, already Microsoft is integrating AI into Notepad (insiders). In my opinion, this constitutes a word processor.



Watch this space.
