    The worst part is if I’m using a work computer or something, I can’t just type into notepad anymore without considering that a record is being made.

    Is there a Windows+R “oldnotepad.exe” that just works pre-installed?

      Notepad++ has a plugin that makes it the default even for things that would normally be go to Notepad.

        I installed npp on one work computer but I don’t want to on the other one. I just want to use what is already installed.

      You can either uninstall new version of Notepad or return to the old one using some registry trick (look it up).

      Or you can download some version of Microsoft Notepad on the internet (probably not really that safe) or even ReactOS Notepad if you really insist of having such simple program, but using I’d recommend to use something like Notepad++ instead.
