Multiple background instances of notepad.exe running

I just opened Task Manager to kill a process and noticed that I have 39 notepad.exe processes running - I do not use Notepad!

They appear to be background processes as in the Details tab there is no associated Username.

Where have these come from?

Windows version:

Edition: Windows 11 Enterprise Version: 23H2OS Build: 22631.3296Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22687.1000.0
