Windows 10: I Messed Up Printing From WORDPAD

I was having trouble printing files from Wordpad. It used to work fine and go directly to the printer, but I then I started getting some screens about ONENOTE and I stupidly deleted something to do with Micosoft 365. I am not sure what all happened. I know this description of the problem is not very clear.If someone knows what I can do so I can print files on WORDPAD to go directly to my printer the way it used to, I would be very appreciative.One more thing: On this post I checked the box that says "Notify me when someone responds to this post". I never get a notification. Why is that

:)
