I installed Notepad++ on Windows 10 and set it as the default .txt file editor. However, when I open the start menu and type "notepad" I still get regular Notepad as the top result; Notepad++ is a small second result. How do I make it give me Notepad++ as the top result?

Use notepad++ more often. Windows 10 sorts it by multiple factors including how many times you’ve used notepad++ more than notepad.

1My Windows 10 installation does this. No trickery or other programs, after a while it learned my preference. – R-D – 2018-06-11T18:17:40.507

As far as I know the "notepad" that pops up is just a shortcut to the original notepad. if you don't require this anymore, just type notepad in the 'search' field, rightclick on the 1st notepad that pops up and change the target locations and the start in locations to mirror those found in the notepad++ shortcut. If you want to reverse the changes, just ensure you make a note of the original locations.

4Is this just after installing, or after some use? In the dim and distant part of my mind the start menu 'learns' (or used to learn) what you used most often. – bertieb – 2018-06-08T08:53:58.500
