Other information
While for Windows 10 2004 and later version user can open any file types with Notepads, users in earlier version of Windows 10 can use this desktop component to open unsupported file types.
Also, UWP restricted file types like batch file(.bat, .cmd etc.), VB Script files(.vbe, .vbs etc.) and .reg files show "Edit" shell menu entries which opens these file types in Windows Notepad and edit them. User can use desktop component either by modifying registry or copying the desktop component to System32 directory to open these file types with Notepads instead.
