How do I turn off 'Overwrite' in Notepad Windows 11

I recently opened Notepad on my Windows 11 laptop and somehow ended up turning on 'Overwrite' which is causing everything I type to write over other text already there....

This is frustrating as I can find no way to stop this from happening. Can someone tell me how to turn this back to normal, so that 'Overwrite' is disabled Please??

 

Turn 'Word Wrap' off default in Notepad

I can repro the issue. Notepad doesn't seem to query the "word wrap" setting. This may have happened after the KB5022913 update, I think. Please report this in the FBH. Until this gets fixed, you can switch to classic Notepad using these steps:

1. Open Settings → Apps.
   
2. Expand “More settings” and click “App execution aliases.”
   
3. Disable the “Notepad” alias by turning off the radio button.

Hi Jill,

It is possible that the application that you're used for printing is not suitable for your report format. To properly isolate the issue, kindly verify the following:

• Are you trying to print the report using a Notepad application?
• Have you tried creating the report using an Office application like Word or Excel?
  

We hope to hear from you soon.
