There is the old favorite Notepad++. It has a lot of other shit in it, but I mostly use it for notes and random shit. I got addicted to it years ago because the tabs persist and you don’t lose everything when you accidentally shut down notepad. It took M$ I think until Win11 to match that feature. It was also very useful long ago for syntax highlighting and previewing very large CSVs, but you can do that in IDEs now.
