Disable/Remove the Conflicting Applications

The Notepad application may not open if another application/process on your system is hindering the operation of the Notepad. In this case, removing the conflicting applications (like WinSeven.exe or Notepad++) may solve the problem.

Boot your computer into safe mode and check if the Notepad is working fine.
If so, perform a clean boot of your PC and check if the issue is resolved.
If so, then enable the processes/applications one by one till you find the problematic application/process. A malware named ‘WinSeven.exe’ (hidden in the Winshell folder) is known to create the issue at hand and in some instances, Notepad++ caused a similar behavior.
Once the problematic application is found, you may disable it in the Startup tab of the Task Manager or completely uninstall it (in Settings>>Apps). If the issue was caused by malware, make sure to perform a thorough malware scan of your system.

This will work,
