Since the early days of Microsoft, Notepad has been known to be part of what Windows offers users, but it is only now that it has been upgraded to include new features to enjoy. Windows 11 users may now enjoy Notepad to help them autocorrect the erroneous typed words and spellcheck the content, a feature long available to MS Word and other platforms.
