Same here. Maybe updating to this latest version will fix the problem as notepad appears to be a core part of Windows. Check "About Notepad" and it shows the Windows version.

New behaviour from Notepad

Windows 10, 1809. Suddenly Notepad won't close without saving.

Can't find a fix by googling. Any ideas? (I usually use Notepad++)
