So when I start my pc the first time I open any txt file it opens all the recent txt files I have opened like from the day before then after I close them all and try to open again any txt file it opens the txt file and the most recent txt file also. I noticed this bug after i updated my windows 11 I don't know if that is the problem just saying, any advice is welcome.
Edit : (sorry forgot to mention that i use the default Microsoft notepad)

Have you already checked the settings in notepad? If not please follow the steps below.
-Open Notepad.
-Click on the "File" menu.
-Select "Options" or "Settings" (depending on your Windows version).
-In the "Preferences" or "Startup" tab, look for an option related to session or file restoration.
-Disable or uncheck the option that says something like "Restore previous session" or "Reopen files from the last session."
If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks
For YEARS we had to put up with Notepad being the most basic of editors. It, for example, didn't even have the option to undo more than the most recent thing you did.
But now it's swung the other way, and it has introduced "cleverness" that nobody wants.
Typical Microsoft. That's all I can say. LOL
Thankfully this one is easy to switch off.
I click the 'File' in notepad's menu, but there isn't any 'Settings' or 'Option' to select. Only 'New Tab', 'Open', 'New Window', 'Save', "Save As', 'Save All', 'Print', 'Close Tab', 'Exit'.
There is also a "Settings" cog thingy. Not sure when THAT first appeared.
My setting is on "Open new window" but it still opens all the files from the previous day.
This sucks, I open multiple txt files a day during my work and change something in there which should not be saved, because they are templates and the change is only temporary. I have to manually close each file and tell them to not save and can't just shut down my notebook as I used to be, because it will open those files with the changes made again and then forces me to close them with "don't save". Huge waste of time.
