[QUOTE="MSbrokeWhatWuzntBroke, post: 114502, member: 28039"] Yes. But the shortcut was not always there - shortly after getting this PC, I created a shortcut to put in Programs (I use Classic Shell). The shortcut was created from the .exe located in C:Windows/System32. Despite the fact that I never experienced the "not responding" issue before the update to vs 1909, I've deleted the shortcut and created a copy of the Notepad .exe per your instructions, however, Notepad would not launch when double-clikking the icon. I deleted that copy and tried the C&P from C:Windows/System32, but that also did not work. So I created another shortcut from C:Windows/System32 as I had once before (right-clik>create shortcut), and Notepad launched from the new shortcut. I did "Save" and "Save As" probably 30 to 40 times to both the desktop and an external USB drive (where I save all files) - so far, no issues with Notepad "Not Responding," so hopefully all it took was creating a new shortcut. Perhaps the previous shortcut was somehow adversely affected by that update to vs 1909. Thanks. I will mark this issue as solved. For now. [/QUOTE]
