Notepad is not replaced anymore. Notepad keeps opening upon opening the default editor from other apps or by running notepad.exe from the command line.
Seems to work ok here when I test it, I'm on the latest Windows 11 Dev build. If you re-run the Notepad Replacer installer, does that make any difference?
Also check the Windows Store to make sure that you don't have Notepad installed from there. If it's installed from the Windows Store, Notepad Replacer won't work.

There was a Store-installed version in my system.
For those who may wonder, it cannot be uninstalled from the Store itself (nice move, Microsoft), but can be safely uninstalled by right clicking the Notepad icon in the main Wndows menu, and selecting 'Uninstall' from the pop-up menu.
After that, Notepad Replacer has to be reinstalled and it works as expected.
Do NOT click on the Install button on the classic Notepad's banner at the top. It will install the Store version and will break NR functionality (it happened to me).
