Windows 10 Bring Notepad back

[nichosi]

Hi,
In trying to install metapad or notepad2 I failed, messed up things & now when I click on notepad a window opens giving choices & have to click on notepad then OK to open it.

There is a notepad in both windows & system32, how can I get my notepad proper again?

I would prefer metapad or notepad2 but could not succeed with either by following googled info.

Can you help please, ............thanx ...........nick

Have you tried right click on a txt file, then select "open with", select "choose another app", navigate to notepad and select the "always use this app" option.?
