Notepad windows disappearing

I have a bad habit of leaving a lot of Notepad windows open at once. I do a lot of text capturing from websites that are not important enough to me to save right away so I open up a new Notepad window, paste the text, and move on. After a day of doing this, I may have 50 Notepad windows open and then I look through them and save what I want. If I am feeling tired it will sometimes take me days to get through them all. Under Windows 10 this was never a problem. As long as the computer did not crash the Notepad windows always stayed open until I closed them. This does not work with Windows 11.

After I have a lot of Notepad windows open if I wait too long or have too many Notepad windows open, they just disappear. This has happened twice now. Just now I had a lot of Notepad windows open and when I went to look for one only 5 Notepad windows were still left open. There was no warning, no sound, no crashed pages, just 5 and the rest were gone.

Is there a limit to how many open Notepad windows can be open at once? Has anyone else seen this happen?

I just installed Notepad+ which has auto-save, but I am curious about why this strange Notepad behavior happens.
Windows 11 Version 21H2

Thank you

Sorry, but I can't answer your question as I switched from native notepad to notepad++ years ago (just as I use explorer++rather than file explorer most of the time.)
These are open source apps in both installable and portable versions and are regularly kept updated.
If you don't find a solution to your notepad problem you might want to use the portable version to test with to see if it will work for you. If you like it, you can install it and change your file association in windows to use it rather than native notepad.

+1 for Notepad++
