Notepad is a basic text editor and comes built-in with every Windows operating system. It is also used to save certain file formats like Registry files, Batch files, Script files, NFO, DIZ files, etc. We keep making changes in the setting that suit our requirements. We might change its default font, style and size, window position, word wrap, status bar settings, etc. While you can revert each one, if you want to reset all Notepad settings to default values, this post shows you how to do it.
For your info, the default font in Notepad of Windows 10 is Consolas with Regular style, and the font size is 11. Word Wrap and Status Bar remain disabled.
