Description
Please confirm these before moving forward
- I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.
Category of the issue
Installation issue.
Brief description of your issue
Install, and notepad3 will be run when notepad is run.
The installer has an option to not to this, but maybe it's not exposed in a way that can be set in an unattended install? Might need a bug against developer?
Steps to reproduce
winget install Rizonesoft.Notepad3
now notepad will launch notepad3.
Actual behavior
notepad3 run
Expected behavior
notepad run
