I've noticed that (unlike 7) for anything Microsoft - even charmap or >notepad, FGS! - selecting Help (including F1) goes online.

Can this default be changed? (Is the offline help even still _there_ in 10?)

but just in case you might be right, I
tried disconnecting from the wifi, then calling up help in Notepad - and

Looks like you're not connected to the internet
Let's get you back online!
So, to repeat my questions:
1. Is the offline help even _there_ in Windows 10?
2. If it is, can it be made the default?

online connection and what you get are the offline features.
(As you are suggesting, I _think_ it
presented the in-built if you went for help when not connected.)
And that ist what you get.Ja, wirklich ... (-:>
Yes; some of them also will give you the same if you type (e. g.)So, to repeat my questions:For some functions there are help pages available
1. Is the offline help even _there_ in Windows 10?
open cmd windows and type
help dir
and it shows you some helpful info.
dir /?
But not every programm in windows 10 oder 11 does have a build inI wasn't thinking of command window commands, only GUI ones.
local help.

In (certainly some earlier versions of - don't know about modern ones) Office (Word etc.), help _defaulted_ to online, but there _was_ some in-built. I _think_ there was some setting that presented the in-built
even if you remained connected.
I suppose I should have asked: does _any_ of the software that comes
with Windows 10 (and maybe later) - such as Notepad and charmap -
actually _have_ any inbuilt help?
IF none of it does, then my other
question is moot: it can't be changed to default to inbuilt help if
there isn't any.
Ah, I thought so! Gruesse: ich wohnte im Ruhrgebiet, etwa 1966-197x >(Dortmund dann Muelheim/Ruhr).(Do you speak German too?)>I am german.
Unfortunately, Copilot chose a bad example there - as we've established,
W10 Notepad is one of those things that has no offline help at all!
