If Windows can lock me out of Notepad, is it too reliant on the cloud?

Could a 'Thin Client' era of Windows 11 ruin my 27 blissful years of using PCs? Losing access to basic apps definitely made it feel that way.

      I think notepad++ is Chinese now since their installer got hacked and a Chinese hacking group was getting ACE on any corporate or government PC that had it installed for like 6 months.
